The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of years will the computer have a value of less than $1,000:
Step 1 - The 10% of $2000 is $200. So, the value of the car after 1 year is $1800.
Step 2 - The 10% of $1800 is $180. So, the value of the car after 2 years is $1620.
Step 3 - The 10% of $1620 is $162. So, the value of the car after 3 years is $1458.
Step 4 - The 10% of $1458 is $145.8. So, the value of the car after 4 years is $1312.2.
Step 5 - The 10% of $1312.2 is $131.22. So, the value of the car after 5 years is $1180.98.
