Brian buys a computer for £4300. it depreciates at a rate of 3% per year. how much will it be worth in 6 years? give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.

In 6 years, the cost of the computer would be £3581.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian buys a computer for £4300.. This means that the initial cost of the computer is £4300. It depreciates at a rate of 3% per year. Therefore, rate,

r = 3/100 = 0.03

Let x represent the amount that the computer depreciates to after t years. Therefore

Current amount = initial amount(1 - rate)^time. Therefore,

x = 4300(1 - 0.03)^6

x = 4300(0.97)^6 = £3581.2

answer: about 22.67
