Answer:

The resale value after 3 years = $ 4,943.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of car = $ 18,000

loss = 35 %

Number of years = 3 years

The reduced value for first year = $ 18,000 × ([tex]\frac{35}{100}[/tex] ) × 1

                              = $ 180 × 35 × 1

                              = $ 6,300

The resale value  for first year = $ 18,000 - $ 6,300

                                =$ 11 , 700

The reduced value for 2nd year = $ 11,700 ×( [tex]\frac{35}{100}[/tex] )

                        = $ 117 × 35 × 1

                        =$ 4,095

The resale value for 2nd year = $ 11,700 - $ 4,095

                                                   = $ 7,605

The reduced value for 3 rd year = $ 7,065 × ([tex]\frac{35}{100}[/tex])

                                   =$ 2661.75

The resale value for 3rd year = $ 7,605 -$ 2661.75

                                       = $ 4,943.25

The resale value after 3 years = $ 4,943.25
