Given: A scooter was bought at $42,000$. Its value depreciated at the rate of $8$ % per annum.

To do: To find its value after one year.

Solution:

Here as given, Principal amount $( P)=Rs.\ 42,000$, Rate of Interest $( R)=8$%,

Time $( t)=1$ years.

Amount payble $( A)=P( 1-\frac{R}{100})^{t}$

$\Rightarrow A=P( 1−100R)^{1}$
 
$\Rightarrow A=42000( 1-\frac{8}{100})^1$

$\Rightarrow A= 42000(1+\frac{2}{25})^1$

$\Rightarrow A=42000( \frac{27}{25})^1$

$\Rightarrow A=42000\times\frac{27}{25}$

$\Rightarrow A=Rs.\ 38,640$

Thus, after one year the value of scooter is $Rs.\ 38,640$.
