The cost after x years is the initial cost minus the amount of decrease after the duration of x years

Percentage Decrease

Given Data

  • Initial Cost of vehicle = $25,399
  • Rate of decrease = 8.5%
  • Duration = yearly

Let us find 8.5% of $25,399

= 8.5/100*$25,399

= 0.085*25399

= 2158.915

Cost after x years will be

Final cost = 25,399 - 2158.915*x
