I think it's the first one

amistre64 · Answer

can you explain why you think its A?

anonymous · Answer

Because B and D don't have the beginning amount of 29,800

amistre64 · Answer

good thinking :)  so it has to be A or C.

Assuming the the t is an exponent ... what is leaning you tpwards A?

amistre64 · Answer

10% is 2980,  which is not the value of the truck the first year, so it has to be the 90% is what im thinking as a logical solution
