Ahouse purchased for $226,000 has lost 4% of its value each year for the past five
years. what is it worth now?

$180,800 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

$226,000 lost 4% for the last 5 months

so take the 4% and multiply by 5 wich equals 20

so the house lost 20% of its price for the last 5 months

now take $226,000 and multiply by 20% wich equals $45,200

so 20% of $226,000 is $45,200

so take the $45,000 and subtract it from $226,000 wich equals $180,800
