d. $6,480

Respuesta :

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

To get 20% more than previous year, we multiply previous year profit with 1.2


Year 1 profit: 3125

Year 2 profit: [tex]3125*1.2=3750[/tex]

Year 3 profit: [tex]3750*1.2=4500[/tex]

Year 4 profit: [tex]4500*1.2=5400[/tex]

Year 5 profit: [tex]5400*1.2=6480[/tex]

Total profit of 5 years is the sum of each individual year shown above.


Total profit in 5 years = [tex]3125+3750+4500+5400+6480=23,255[/tex]
