Answer: The computer worth $ 492.38 after 5 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the value of an item depreciates by r% then the value of the item after t years is given by :-
[tex]V=V_0(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^{t}[/tex]
, where [tex]V_0[/tex] = initial value.
Given: [tex]V_0[/tex] =$1,250, r=17% , t= 5 years
Then, the value of computer after 5 years = [tex]1250(1-\dfrac{17}{100})^5[/tex]
[tex]=1250(0.83)^5\\\\=1250(0.39390)\\\\\approx492.38[/tex]
Hence, the computer worth $ 492.38 after 5 years.
