   Yi Chen made a $6,400 investment at the beginning of a year. By the end of the year, the value of the investment had decreased by 8.2%. What was its value at the end of the year?


      Investment made at the beginning of the year = $ 6400

              decreased value  is = 8.2%

                hence decreased value = 8.2*6400/100 = 524.80

       value at the end of the year = $ 6400 - $ 524.80 

                                    = $ 5875.20</PRE>
