Answer:

The car will be worth £2516.22 in 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of depreciating is  

[tex]A=P(1-r)^{t}[/tex], where

  • A is the new value
  • P is the original value
  • r is the rate in decimal
  • t is the time in years

∵ Dan buys a car for £2700

P = 2700

∵ It depreciates at a rate of 1.4% per year

r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.014

∵ We need to find how much it will be worth in 5 years

t = 5

→ Substitute all of these values in the rule above to find A

∵ [tex]A=2700(1-0.014)^{5}[/tex]

→ Use your calculator to find the answer

A = 2516.22

The car will be worth £2516.22 in 5 years
