Question

A realtor completes the same number of continuing education hours (CE) each year. They had 12 CE’s when they started and after 8 years they had 124 credits. Express the rate at which they are earning credits. In the first blank enter the value. In the next two blanks enter the units.

Answer 1

A) 14

B) Credit Per Year

Explanation:

Let's denote the rate at which the realtor is earning credits as RR (in credits per year).The total number of continuing education credits after 8 years is given by the initial credits plus the credits earned each year multiplied by the number of years:Total credits=Initial credits+R×Number of yearsTotal credits=Initial credits+R×Number of yearsIn this case, the initial credits are 12, the total credits after 8 years is 124, and the number of years is 8.124=12+R×8124=12+R×8Now, solve for RR:R×8=124−12R×8=124−12R×8=112R×8=112R=1128R=8112​R=14R=14So, the rate at which the realtor is earning credits is 1414 credits per year.Now, filling in the blanks:In the first blank, enter the value: 14‾14​In the next two blanks, enter the units: credits per year‾credits per year
