A new car lost 20% of its value the first year it was owned and lost another 15% the next year. If the car had an original value of 15,000, how much was the car worth after 3 years?

Answer:

45

Explanation:

first year- 15000*0.20=3000

second year- 3000*0.15=450

every year the car looses 5%

third year- 450*0.10=45

i think thats the answer
