Check the answer by performing a long division.0.18 with a bar over the 18 (infinity)Fifth problem:John has $20000 in a safe deposit box. Each year, he spends 12% of what is left in the box. How much will be in the box after 16 years? Please round the answer to the nearest cent.Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!No more answers needed.
