### Depreciation Calculation Problem

**Problem Statement:**

A new car is purchased for $23,200. The value of the car depreciates at a rate of 13.25% per year. What will the value of the car be, **to the nearest cent**, after 7 years?

**Answer Submission Box:**

- Below the problem statement, there is an answer submission box where you can input your computed car value.
  
**Answer Input:**
- A text box where you can enter your answer to the depreciation problem.
- A button labeled "Submit Answer" to submit your response.

**Attempt Information:**
- There is an indication that this is attempt 2 out of a possible 2 attempts.

**Note:** Ensure your answer is accurate to the nearest cent.

**Steps to Solve the Problem:**
1. **Identify the Initial Value (P)**: The car's initial value is $23,200.
2. **Depreciation Rate (r)**: The annual depreciation rate is 13.25%.
3. **Number of Years (t)**: The time period over which the depreciation is calculated is 7 years.

**Depreciation Formula:**
\[ V = P \times (1 - r)^t \]

Where:
- \( V \) = Value after t years
- \( P \) = Initial value (23,200)
- \( r \) = Depreciation rate (0.1325)
- \( t \) = Number of years (7)

**Calculation:**
\[ V = 23200 \times (1 - 0.1325)^7 \]

You should perform this calculation to find the car's value after 7 years, and input the result into the provided answer box. Make sure to round your final answer to the nearest cent before submission.
