Answer 1

The answer is B, As the Age of the Car increases by 1 year, the value of the car decreases by 7%.

Explanation:

Count from 100 (1).

0.93 is 93%, so 100-93=7

0.7 or 7% is the decrease of the car's value after one year

So we can say, that every year, the car's value will decrease by 7% (0.7 in decimal form)
