Let x be the value of the article.
The value of an article decreases for two years at the rate of 10% per year.
The value of the article at the end of the 1st year is
x – 10% of x = 0.90x
The value of the article at the end of the 2nd year is
0.90x – 10% of (0.90x) = 0.81x
The value of the article increases in the 3rd year by 10%.
The value of the article at the end of 3rd  year is
0.81x + 10% of (0.81x) = 0.891x
0.891x = 40,095
