Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Initial price is x
  • Rate of decrease is 15%

Value of the car after one year:

  • x - 15% = x - 0.15x = 0.85x dollars

When x = $1000, the value:

  • 0.85*$1000 = $850

When x = $5000, the value:

  • 0.85*$5000 = $4250

When x = $5020, the value:

  • 0.85*$5020 = $4267
