I need help:

The value of a new car decreases dramatically as soon as it leaves the dealership. Assuming that you just bought a new car with $20,000 and that it depreciates at a rate of 2% a month. How much will the car be worth in one year?

2 answers

There are 12 months in a year. Each month it decreases by 2%. This means 98% of the original price will be remaining at the end of the first month. So to get the price of the care after one month, it would be

20000*0.98=19600

Repeat the process I just did for the remaining 11 months. Remember to use the price you get at the end of each month for the next month's calculation.
rather than do it 12 times, just use
20000 * 0.98^12
