A car has a value of £500 and loses £80 of its value each month. Copy and complete the table for months passed 0, 1, 2, 3: what values replace A, B, C and D in the car value (£) row?

What the table is showing

You are given a starting value (£500) and a fixed monthly decrease (£80). The table entries A, B, C, and D are just the car’s value after 0, 1, 2, and 3 months.

Subtract £80 each month

Start at month 0, then subtract £80 for each month passed:

• Month 0: $500$
• Month 1: $500 - 80 = 420$
• Month 2: $420 - 80 = 340$
• Month 3: $340 - 80 = 260$

Fill in A, B, C, D

So the missing values are:

• $A = £500$
• $B = £420$
• $C = £340$
• $D = £260$

Quick check using a formula

A simple linear rule is $V = 500 - 80m$, where $m$ is months passed.

• For $m=3$: $V = 500 - 80\cdot 3 = 500 - 240 = 260$, matching D.
