Answer:  $4467.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay problem. 8000(0.89)^5.  

100-11 = 89

89/100= 0.89, that is how we got the decimal.

Then, solve.

0.89 * 0.89 * 0.89 * 0.89 * 0.89 = 0.5584059449

0.5584059449 * 8000 = 4467.2475592

Round the decimal part to the nearest hundredth, which is $4467.25.
