Hey!
Since it's 1/6th and not 1/8th then replace 7/8 with a 5/6.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

A) Replace the 8000 with 6895

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]V=8000(\frac{1}{8}) t[/tex]

Where [tex]V[/tex] is the value of the scooter and [tex]t[/tex] is the number of years.

According to the problem, George plans to purchase new scooter for $8000. That means the number 8000 in the given function refers to the price of the scooter. So, if he finds that the scooter costs $6895, then we should replace $8000 with $6895.

Therefore, the right answer is A.
