Answer:

$119,422.9

Explanation:

We can use the following formula to solve:


A=P(1-r)^t

P = principal value

r = rate (decimal)

t = time (years)

First, lets change 6.75% into a decimal:

6.75% ->
(6.75)/(100) -> 0.0675

Now, plug the values into the equation:


A=224,000(1-0.0675)^9


A=119,422.9

The value of the car after 9 years will be $119,422.9
