I will get you started.

Car Problem:

10,750 (0.059) = 634.25

Year 1:

10,750 - 634.25 = 10,115.75

The price of the car after year one at 0.059 is $10,115.75.

Continue the same pattern for the remaining 9 years.

Population Problem:

17, 724 (0.02) = 354.48

For Year 1:

17,724 + 354.48 = 18,078.48

Continue the same pattern for the remaining 18 years. Use your calculator.
