Round to the nearest dollar. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the resale value after n years is (1-0.25)^n
so after 3 years it is 0.75^3
the original purchase was $2350
the price after 3 years is $2350*(0.75^3)
=$991.41
-
after 1 year it is 3/4 as much, after 2 years, 9/16, and after three years 27/64.
