Answer:

$6847.955

Explanation:

Use the compound interest formula, but the value decreases over time.

[tex]\sf A = P(1 - \dfrac{r}{100} )^t[/tex]

where 'A' is final amount, r is rate, t is time

Inserting P = $15,000, r = 23, t = 3 years

[tex]\sf A = 15000(1- \dfrac{23}{100} )^3[/tex]

[tex]\sf A = 6847.995[/tex]

Hence the value of truck after three years will be $6847.955.
