1. **Problem Statement:** A car was bought in 2010 for 1250000. The car's value decreases by 25500 every year. We need to find the value of the car in 2026.
2. **Formula Used:** The value of the car after $t$ years can be found using the linear depreciation formula:
$$ V = V_0 - d \times t $$
where:
- $V$ is the value after $t$ years,
- $V_0$ is the initial value,
- $d$ is the depreciation per year,
- $t$ is the number of years since purchase.
3. **Calculate the number of years from 2010 to 2026:**
$$ t = 2026 - 2010 = 16 $$
4. **Substitute the values into the formula:**
$$ V = 1250000 - 25500 \times 16 $$
5. **Calculate the depreciation over 16 years:**
$$ 25500 \times 16 = 408000 $$
6. **Calculate the value of the car in 2026:**
$$ V = 1250000 - 408000 = 842000 $$
**Final Answer:** The value of the car in 2026 will be 842000.
