Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

It is given that Tammy bought a car for c dollars.

Original price of car = c

Price of car after 1 year = 0.93c

We need to find the change in the value of Tammy's car.

$Change\%=\frac{\text{New Price - Original price}}{\text{Original price}}* 100$

$Change\%=(0.93c-c)/(c)* 100$

$Change\%=(-0.07c)/(c)* 100$

$Change\%=-0.07* 100$

$Change\%=-7\%$

Here negative sign represents that the value of is decreasing by 7%.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
