OpenStudy (maddielb):

.25^4x24000?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You need to follow the model that satellite73 gave you. When your money was earning 4.5% interest, you used the base (1.045). Now, the value is going DOWN. Use the base (1.00-0.25), or (0.75).

OpenStudy (mathmale):

find 24000(0.75)^4

OpenStudy (maddielb):

$7594

OpenStudy (mathmale):

and be certain that you know where each of those numbers comes from. $24,000=initial value of the car 0.75: base 4: number of years

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Does your answer seem reasonable?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Car was worth $24,000 at the onset, but after 4 years is worth $7,594. Reasonable or not?

OpenStudy (maddielb):

Yes

OpenStudy (mathmale):
