Answer:

Correct option is:

a. 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron's mother purchases a new computer for $1750.

she claims loss of value on the computer at a rate of $250 per year

i.e. After t years value of computer= $ (1750-250t)

How long will it take for the value of the computer to be $0?

i.e. We have to find the value of t such that:

1750-250t=0

⇒ 250t=1750

⇒ t=1750/250

⇒ t=7

Hence, correct option is:

a. 7 years
