Answer:

$2,202

Step-by-step explanation:

If the car decreases in value 20% per year, that means that the car is only worth 80% of its value for the next year.

80% can be written as .80.

Multiply the value of the car by .80 6 times.

8400 multiplied by .80 = 6720

6720 multiplied by .80 = 5376

repeat this sequence 4 more times to come to an answer of 2,202
