Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a car's value depreciates by 15% and its original value was $20,000, what is its new value?
  • Step 1: Identify the original value of the car, which is $20,000.
  • Step 2: Calculate 15% of the original value. To do this, multiply $20,000 by 0.15.
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: $20,000 * 0.15 = $3,000. This is the amount the car depreciates.
  • Step 4: Subtract the depreciation amount from the original value. So, $20,000 - $3,000.
  • Step 5: Perform the subtraction: $20,000 - $3,000 = $17,000. This is the new value of the car.
