A small business buys office equipment for $2,500 It depreciates at a rate of 18% per year. Calculate its value after 6 years using the exponential depreciation formula: y=A⁢(1−r)^x

Use the depreciation formula with the starting value A = $2,500, rate r = 0.18, and time x = 6: y = 2,500(1 − 0.18)^6 = 2,500(0.82)^6. This is approximately $760.02, so the value after 6 years is $760.02, choice C.
