Barnes · Answer 1

17,000 • 0.2 = 3,400

17,000-3,400 = 13,600

So, after one year of owning this truck, it's value will depreciate to $13,600.

Lainey Lopez · Answer 2

It will be valued at 13,600 dollars.

20% of 17,000 dollars is 3,400 dollars, which is how much worth it is losing Subtract that from the original value to get 13,600 value
