A 3D Printer that sold for $858 last year has depreciated by 17%. What is the price of the 3D printer this year?
To solve this problem, first you want to find out what 17% of 858 is by converting the percent to a decimal and then multiplying that by the cost: 858 x .17
This will give you the amount the printer depreciated. Now, remember that depreciated means that the value went down. So you would subtract your answer above from the total cost.
Price this year = $858 - ($858×0.17) = $_____?
