Question

the value of a care depreciates 20% every year . if after two years the price of a care is rs. 208000. find theoroginal.prise

Answer 1

Let the original price of the car be Rs x

Depreciation,

R= 20% pa Time period,

n = 2 years 

Value of car after depreciation,

A = Rs 2,08,000 

Recall the formula,

A = P[1 – (r/100)]n 208000

= x[1 – (20/100)]2 

= x[80/100]2 

= x[16/25] 


Therefore,

x = (208000) × (25/16) = 325000



 Hence original price of the car is Rs 3,25,000.
