To find the monthly value decrease, we need to divide the total amount the car's value decreases ($4,000) by the number of months (12).
$4,000 / 12 = $333.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
So, the value of the car decreases by $333.33 per month.
To find the value decrease per month, divide the total decrease by the number of months.
Total decrease: $4,000
Number of months: 12
Value decrease per month = Total decrease / Number of months
Value decrease per month = $4,000 / 12
Calculating this gives us:
Value decrease per month = $333.33
Therefore, the value decreases by $333.33 per month (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
