The value of a car depreciates by 35% each year. At the end of 2007 it was £5460. Work out the value of the car at the end of 2006.

-This question wants us to work backwards.Let N be the value of the car in the year 2006. Find the multiplier . 1-0.35 = 0.65. Hence N * (0.65) = £5460. Rearrange for N. N = £8400
