Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

[tex]\$105.47[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

[tex]V=P(1-r)^{x}[/tex]  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

[tex]P=\$250\\r=25\%=25/100=0.25\\x=3\ years[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=250(1-0.25)^{3}[/tex]  

[tex]V=250(0.75)^{3}[/tex]  

[tex]V=\$105.47[/tex]  

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

After three years the worth of it will be [tex]$105.47[/tex]

We know that each year, it's worth 75% of what it was, giving us :

[tex]=0.75*W[/tex] (Note that "W" means "Worth")

Now we calculate it in three years time so,

The first year is :[tex]250*0.75 = $187.50[/tex]

The second year is :[tex]187.5*0.75 = $140.625[/tex]

The third year is :[tex]140.625*0.75 = $105.47[/tex]

Now, we have our answer :

After three years time the worth of it is [tex]$105.47[/tex]
