Adam bought a fish aquarium worth $2,000 in the first week of the year. Its value depreciates by 3% per week. What will the value of fish aquarium after 5 weeks?

The answer is 1825.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first week isn’t included, we only count 4 weeks.

So first, 2000 x 0.03 = 60

(By the way 0.03 is 3%)

2000 - 60 = 1940

Subtracting 2000 by 60 represents the amount of money the aquarium went down in that week.

Then, week 3:

1940 x 0.03 = 58.2

1940 - 58.2 = 1881.8

Now, the last week, week four:

1881.8 x 0.03 = 56.45

1881.8 - 56.45 = 1825.35.

Therefore, 1825.35 after 5 weeks.
