Question

8. Alex found an antique vase that had a starting value of $30,000. The value of the vase increased by the same amount each year. If the value of the vase after 5 years is $36,000, what was the value of the vase 2 years after she found it? O $31,200 O $32,400 O $33,600 O $34,800​

Answer 1

$32,400.

Explanation:

36000 - 30000 = 6000

So it increases every year by 6000/5 = $1200

After 2 years its value is

30000 + 2(1200)

= 32400.
