7. The value of a computer has a decay factor of 0.85 per year. After 2 years, the computer is worth $1445. What was the original value of the computer?

$64222.22

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the original value as x, we can write:

1445 = x * (0.15)²   (Note: We write 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 and not 0.85 because 0.85 is the decay factor)

1445 = 0.0225x

x ≈ 64222.22

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
