$500 into the account for her 
1st birthday. For each successive birthday, Ricardo deposits 
$200 more than the amount deposited for the previous birthday. This is the only money deposited into the account. What is the total amount of money Ricardo will have deposited into the account for Ruth up to and including her 6th birthday?

Answer 1

Answer big number

Step-by-step explanation: you start with 500 then 700 for 2nd then 900 for 3rd 1100 for 4th 1300 for 5th 1500 for 6th

Answer 2

Answer: 6,000

Explanation:

If it starts with 500 on the first birthday, and each year he deposits the same amount as the previous plus 200 then we get 700 for the 2nd year.
3rd year: deposits 900

4th year: deposits 1100

5th year: deposits 1300

6th year: deposits 1500

500+700+900+1100+1300+1500=6000

Answer: $6000
