Answer: Let me explain!

Explanation:

Well, this is easy, I’ll explain it.
We know the value of these computers are going to go down 20% each year. So since we know that, we can multiply 20 percent by the amount of years, which is 2, so 20 times 2 is 40, so the computers decreased in value by 40 percent!

Now that that’s established, we need to subtract forty percent of 2500, from the original price, 2500.

(To do that, move the decimal place over one to get 250, which is 10%, then multiply by 4, to get 40 percent of 2500, which is 1000, in case you weren’t sure on how to do that :)

Then, subtract 1000 from 2500, and that is your answer!
