Jonas purchased a new car for $25,000. Each year the value of the car depreciates by 20% of its value the previous year. In how many years will the car be worth $5000?

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

20% in this equation is equal to 5,000 So just go 25,000-5,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this a test?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

It is asking how many years it takes for it to depricate down to $5k. @KendrickLamar2014

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

So you would do that continuously until you reach 5k.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Year 1: $25,000 - $5,000 = $20,000 Year 2: $20,000 - $5,000 = $15,000 Year 3: $15,000 - $5,000 - $10,000 Year 4: $10,000 - $5,000 = $5,000

That is how you solve this problem :)
