The Economy and You

Question 26 • T1 - 4 RMA-TX-Financial Math-B

Say that the economy is in a recession, causing vehicle prices to drop by eight percent. If your car was previously worth $25,295, what is it worth now, to the nearest dollar?

Answer
A
$23,851
B
$23,421
C
$23,271
D
$22,133

Explanation

An 8% drop means the car retains 92% of its previous value. Calculate $25,295 × 0.92 = $23,271.40, which rounds to $23,271. The correct choice is $23,271.
