Explanation / Answer

A new car is bought for $22,000. After one year, there was an accident. As per the insurance company, before the accident, the value of the car had decreased by 25% i.e. by 0.25*$22000 = $ 5500. The depreciated amount is $ 22000-$ 5500 = $16500. Additionally, there is $ 500 deductible so that the insurance company pays a sum of $ 16500-$ 500 = $ 16000.
