You can put this solution on YOUR website! .18 * 10,000 = 1,800 10,000 - 1,800 = 8,200
 .18 * 8,200 = 1,476
 8,200 - 1,476 = 6,724
 .18 * 6,724 = 1,210.32
 6,724 - 1,210.32 = 5,513.68
 .18 * 5,513.68 = 992.46
 5,513.68 - 992.46 = 4,521.22
 .18 * 4,521.22 = 813.8196
 4,521.22 - 813.82 = 3,707.40
 The value of the car is 3,707.40
