Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A car's value depreciates by 15% each year. If its current value is $8500, what will be its value after one year?
Correct Answer: 7225
  • Step 1: Identify the current value of the car, which is $8500.
  • Step 2: Calculate 15% of the current value. To do this, multiply $8500 by 0.15.
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 8500 * 0.15 = 1275.
  • Step 4: Subtract the amount calculated in Step 3 from the current value. So, $8500 - $1275.
  • Step 5: Perform the subtraction: 8500 - 1275 = 7225.
  • Step 6: The value of the car after one year is $7225.
