Question 1077644: A new truck has a value of $36000. It depreciates in value 12% each year. To the nearest tenth of a year, when will the truck be worth half its original value/ Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P=Po(1-0.12)^n
Po=2*P
Therefore, (0.5)=.88^n
log of both sides
-.3010=n log (.88)
divide both sides by log .88
n=5.4 years.
