Two different cars each depreciate to 60% of their respective original values. The first car depreciates at an annual rate of 10%. The second car depreciates at an annual rate of 15%. What is the approximate difference in the ages of the two cars?

The approximate difference in the ages of the two cars is 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, since the first car (Car A) depreciates annually at a rate of 10% and is currently worth 60% or 40% less than its original value, we can calculate the number of years it took the car to depreciate to just 60% of its original worth:

= Current value/rate of depreciation

= 60%/10%

= 6 years

So, if the car depreciates by 10% every year from the year it was worth 100% of it's original value, it will take 6 years for the car to now worth just 60%

In the same manner, if the second car (Car B) is depreciating at an annual rate of 15% and is likewise currently worth just 60% or 40% less than its original value, we can calculate the number of years it will take the car to depreciate to 60% of its original worth.

= Current worth/ rate of depreciation

= 60%/15%

= 4 years

So, if the car (Car B) is depreciating at a rate of 15% per annum, the car will depreciate to just 60% in a period of 4 years.

Therefore, if the 2 cars are currently worth just 60% of their original values (recall that it took the first car 6 years and the second car 4 years to depreciate to their current values), the approximate difference in the ages of the two cars assuming they both started depreciating immediately after the years of their respective manufacture is:

= 6 years - 4 years

= 2 years

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
