Say the purchase price was $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "After 5 yrs, the car is worth $\"+x+-+.25x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "After 10 yrs, the car is worth $\"+x+-+.25x+-+.3%2A%28x+-+.25x%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+.25x+-+.3x+%2B+.075x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.45x+%2B+.075x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.525x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+13500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.525%2A13500\"$
