use the formula  C=current value P= previous value   d=rate of depriciation t=time  then  C=P(1−(d/(100)))^t

$$\mathrm{use}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{formula} \\ $$$$\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{current}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{P}=\:\mathrm{previous}\:\mathrm{value}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{d}=\mathrm{rate}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{depriciation}\:\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{time} \\ $$$$\mathrm{then} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{\mathrm{C}}=\boldsymbol{\mathrm{P}}\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{d}}}{\mathrm{100}}\right)^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{t}}} \\ $$
