A limited-edition poster increases in value each year. After 1 year, the poster is worth $20.70. After 2 years, it is worth $23.81. Which equation can be used to find the value, y, after x years? (Round money values to the nearest penny.)

y = 18(1.15)x
y = 18(0.15)x
y = 20.7(1.15)x
y = 20.7(0.15)x

y = 18(1.15)x is the answer
After one year
18×(1.15)=20.7
After two years
18×(1.15)^(2)=23.81
