7. The value of a computer has a decay factor of 0.85 per year. After 2 years, the computer is worth $1445. What was the original value of the computer?
im still confused
v*0.85^2 = 1445
To determine the original value of the computer, we need to use the value decay factor and the information given. Let's break down the problem.
Let V be the original value of the computer.
After 2 years, the value of the computer is 0.85 * V.
We are given that 0.85 * V = $1445.
To find V, we can rearrange the equation:
V = $1445 / 0.85
Now, let me calculate this for you.
