Question 1188433: 1:A car loses one half of its value during first year of usage and thereafter loses 8% of its value in each year.calculate it's book value at the end of three year (gives its value as the percentage of original value) Answer by ikleyn(52817) (Show Source):
At the end of the third year the book price will be
0.5*(1-0.08)*(1-0.08) = 0.5*0.92*0.92 = 0.4232 of the original price,
or 42.32% of the original price. ANSWER
