Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The price of silver has increased by 25% per year from 2000. In the year 2000, Harry bought a silver bowl for $170.

To calculate the price of the silver bowl after x years, we need to use the following formula:

F(x)= PV*(1+g)^x

F(x)= future value

PV= present value

g= growth rate

x= number of years

For example, we determine the value of the coin after 10 years:

F(x)= 170*(1.25^10)

F(x)= $1,583.25
