Question

Brandy found a rare, one-of-a-kind character card in her new deck. The card is valued at $8.95. Every year, th cards value increases by $1.33. She plans to sell the card after 15 years with the hopes of making at least $26. Is this a viable option?

Answer 1

Hello!

First, you'll need to multiply 1.33 by 15, since the value of the card increases by $1.33 every year. After you've multiplied, you'll get $19.95. NExt you'll need to add 8.95 to 19.95 to get the value of the card after 15 years. After, you should get a value of $28.90 for the card.

So yes, having the hope of making at least $26 off the card IS a viable option.

I hope this helps!
