The equation for actually working this out is

19340 X 0. 875^10. The answer would be the 3rd one ($5088) as the actual reality is the answer is $5087 with a lot of decimals hope this helps

Answer:

5088

Explanation:

The initial value of the car is $19340

The rate of decrease is 12.5%

The value of the car after 10 years is given by


A=P(1-r\%)^n

Substitute the values to get;


A=19340(1-12.5\%)^(10)


\Rightarrow A=19340(1-12.5\%)^(10)


\Rightarrow A=19340(1-0.125)^(10)


\Rightarrow A=5087.88

To the nearest dollar we have $5088

The correct answer is choice C
