Jesse’s parents bought a new car. After owning it for two years, the car’s value was $23,070. After owning it for six years, Jesse’s parents sold it to him for $3,025.

Make a graph, where x is the number of years they owned the car and y is the car’s value. Graph the car’s value at 2 years and 6 years. Determine the approximate purchase price of the car

A. 27,000
B. 28,000
C. 30,000
D, 33,000

Answer 1

ok so, we know what the car was worth after two years, and we want to know how much it was worth two years prior. Since it goes down 5011.25 a year, and we are going up two years, we simply take the year two value of 23,070 and add (2 x 5011.25), which is 33022.5. This is close to 33,000, and you have your answer :) choice D
