Verified Answer :

20%.

20,000 times 0.8 is 16,000, so the decreased value that was lost was 20% of the original price.

Answer:

Option A. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost price of the car when it was new = $20000

After one year car value $16000.

We have to calculate the depreciation in the price or my car.

So decease in the car's value = 20000-16000 = $4000

Since cost price of the car was = $20000

therefore % decrease decrease in the price will be = (decrease in price/cost price)×100 = (4000/20000)×100 = 20%
