Write this as a function. The company decides to buy a new delivery van for $25000. The van's resale value decreases at a rate of 20% per year. What is the resale value of the van x years after its purchase?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to decrease something by \(20\%\) multiply it by \(100\%-20\%=80\%=0.8\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to do it \(x\) times, multiply it by \((0.8)^x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25000(.8)^x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should do it
