ANSWER


y=25,000\cdot0.95^t

Step-by-step explanation

Exponential decay is modeled by the equation,


y=a\cdot(1-r)^t

Where a is the initial value, in this case, a = $25,000, and r is the decay - or decrease, rate. In this problem, r = 0.05.

The equation is,


y=25,000(1-0.05)^t

Solve the subtraction to write it in the asked form,


y=25,000\cdot0.95^t
