Question

Sales at Glover's Golf Store have been increasing linearly. In their fourth business year,

sales were $160,000. This year was their ninth business year and sales were $345,000. If
sales continue to increase at this rate, predict the sales in their twelfth business year.

Answer 1

Answer: 456,000

Explanation:

First you need to find out by how much the sales are increasing each year. You do this by doing 345,000-16000 divided by 5 (the difference of 9th year and 4th) = 37,000

Next you multiply 37,000 by 3 ( difference of 12th business’s year and 9th) = 111,000

Then you add 345,000+111,000 =

456,000
