Joshua’s Babe Ruth baseball card is worth 500,000. If the value continues to grow by 2% each year, how much will the card be worth in 5 years?

A.$512,11963
B.$552,040.40
C.$4,852,055.65

$550,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find 2% of 500,000 first.

2 x 500,000 = 1,000,000

1,000,000 ÷ 100 = 10,000.

It increases value by 10,000 dollars each year

5 x 10,000 = 50,000.

It will be worth 550,000 dollars in 5 years.

I hope thats answer choice D, sorry if I am wrong.

step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

- x + y = - 2 → (1)

2x - 3y = 4 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 2x + 2y = - 4 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (- 3y + 2y) = (4 - 4), simplifying gives

- y = 0 ⇒ y = 0

substitute y = 0 in either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of x

substituting in (2) gives

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 0 ) → a
