    You purchase a car for $23,000. The car depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. Determine the value of the car after 7 years. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    Set up the Depreciation equation:
    D(t) = 23,000/(1.15)^t

    We want D(7)
    D(7) = 23,000/(1.15)^7
    D(7) = 23,000/2.66002
    D(7) = 8,646.55
