For each year that a gift card goes unused, the value of the card decreases by 5%. What is the value of a $25.00 gift card after 1 year? Show your work.

Answer:

25*0.95 = 23.75

Explanation:

i multiplied by 0.95 because the card is still worth 95% of it's original worth.

you could've done:

25*0.05= 1.75 and then subtract that from 25 to get 23.75, i just find the other way easier.

i hope this helped :)
