You can put this solution on YOUR website! My car depreciates at a rate of 33% per year.
What % of the original price is it worth after 6 years.

Let the original value be "x".
Each year it is worth 67% of what it was worth the previous year.
----
Equation:
V(6) = 0.67^6*x = 0.0905*x or 9.05% of the original price
