Question

The value of a car decreases by 35% in the first year. Write an equation to represent the situation

Answer 1

V = value of car
X = answer to equation

V x 35% = X
V x 3.5 = X

Answer 2

V - 35

Explanation:

V(value) - 35%

Why are we subtracting?

We're subtracting because its only one year, if it was 2 or more years it'd be easier to divide.
