Suzie bought an antique jewelry box for $34.50. It originally cost $8.75 when it was made. Its value has increased $0.75 a year since it was made and it is now 83 years old. If Suzie were to sell it for what it is worth, how much money would she make? (Please show steps)

Answer 2

if she would sell it for what it is worth now she would make $36.50

Explanation:

0.75 x 83 = 62.5

62.5 + 8.75 = 71

71 is how much it is worth now

71 - 34.5 = 36.5

36.50 is how much she would make
