A new car worth 37000 is depreciating in value by 2000 per year. how many years will the car be worth 17000

37000 (total price of the car) - 17000 (the target value) = 20,000 (the difference)

20,000 (difference) / 2000 (how much it depreciates per year) = 10 (the amount of years it will take)

Verify:

17000 + (2000 * 10) = 37000? Yes.
