Question

Jane Marko buys a car for 43,900. in three years, the car depreciates 48% in value. how much is the car worth in three years ?

Answer 1

take $43,900 and devide by 100 to find how much 1% is.

1% equals $439

If it depreciates 48%, that means that 52% of the value is left

So take $439 (1%) and multiply by 52 to get the final answer

$22,828

Thats the long way, you could also do

(total value) x (0.the percentage) =Total
So:
43,900 x 0.52 = 22,828

Answer 2

Let's take this step by step.

A car cost $43,900.

If it depreciates 48% in value in 3 years, we must find 48% of $43,900, and subtract that from its total value.

A 48% of $43,900 is:

$43,900 * 0.48 = $21,072

$43,900 - $21,072 = $22,828

The car is worth $22,828 in three years.
