Answer:

Total number of year pass [n] = 22 year (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning price of cottage [P] = $25,000

Price reduce every year [r] = 10% = 0.1

Final price [A] = $2,500

Find:

Total number of year pass [n]

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

2,500 = 25,000[1-0.1]ⁿ

0.1 = [0.9]ⁿ

Total number of year pass [n] = 22 year (Approx)
