Leasing vs. Buying a Car

Question 7 • 2025-2026 GSP Mathematical Reasoning for Decision Making

Sally is near the end of a three year lease on a car with an original MSRP of $38,000. Her leasing company claims that the car is now worth only $28,500. Which percentage represents the residual value of Sally’s leased car?

Answer
A
25%
B
33%
C
67%
D
75%

Explanation

Residual value is the car’s value at the end of the lease compared with its original MSRP. Divide $28,500 by $38,000: $28,500 ÷ $38,000 = 0.75, or 75%. The correct choice is 75%.
