C2 Mathematics Edexcel January 2010 Question 6
- A car was purchased for £18 000 on 1st January. On 1st January each following year, the value of the car is 80% of its value on 1st January in the previous year.
(a) Show that the value of the car exactly 3 years after it was purchased is £9216. The value of the car falls below £1000 for the first time n years after it was purchased.
(b) Find the value of n.
An insurance company has a scheme to cover the maintenance of the car. The cost is £200 for the first year, and for every following year the cost increases by 12% so that for the 3rd year the cost of the scheme is £250.88
(c) Find the cost of the scheme for the 5th year, giving your answer to the nearest penny.
(d) Find the total cost of the insurance scheme for the first 15 years.
