Question

The cost of a scooter depreciates every year by 15% of its value at the beginning of the year. If the present cost of the scooter is ₹ 8,000; find its cost: after 2 years.

Answer 1

Present cost of scooter = Rs.8000
The cost of scooter depriciates by 15% every year
Cost of scooter after 2 years
 = `((100 - 15))/(100) xx 6800`

= `(85)/(100) xx 6800`
= Rs.5780
