Did Justin drive mre r fewer miles than the average light truck driver in 2004? by hw much? Justin bught his truck new fr $32,000. Its value decreases 9.0% each year. Chse the letter fr the best answer. 5. Which functin represents the yearly value f Justin's truck? A f(t) = 32,000(1 +0.9)' B f(t) = 32,000(1-0.9)f C f(t) = 32,000( )f D f(t) = 32,000(1-0.09)' 6.
