Max was browsing Amazon on his phone and decided to purchase the newest Adidas shoes. He bought
them for $280. Unfortunately, a newer version was released a week later and his shoes began depreciating
in value rapidly. Every week the value of the shoes decreases by 8%. how much will the shoes be worth
in 2 months (8 weeks)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  $143.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of value each week is (1 -8%) = 0.92. After 8 weeks, the original value will have been multiplied by 0.92^8.

__

The value of the shoes after 8 weeks is ...

  $280(0.92^8) ≈ $143.70
