The way I would work this out is by working out one percent first:
12000*1% = 120
(or 12000 * 1/100 = 120)
Then to make this 1% into 15%, multiply this by 15:
15*120 = 1,800
So 15% of £12,000 is £1,800.
Over one year the value will drop by £1,800, so take this away from the original amount:
£12,000 -£1,800 is £10,800
The car will therefore be worth £10,800

12000 times .15 = 1800
12000 - 1800 = 10200
A simpler way to represent this is to say that the car will be worth 85% of it's original value after one year so .85 times 12000 = 10200. Either way you get the answer.

12000/10 = 1200 (10%)
12000/20 = 600 (5%)
= 1800 (15%)
12000
-1800
=11200
answer 11,200

100% - 15% = 85%
12000 x 85% = 10200
And to be sure....work out 10% = 1200, halve it
5% = 600 then add them together
__________
15% = 1800
12000 - 1800 = 10200
