Question

Three years ago, the annual tuition at a university was $3,000. The following year, the tuition was $3,300, and last year, the tuition was $3,630. If the tuition has continued to grow in the same manner, what is the tuition this year? What do you expect it to be the next year?

Answer 1

$3990

Explanation:

First, if the tuition increased by 300 the first year, and 330 the next year, I can infer that the tuition increases by $30 a year. This year, the the tuition will cost 360, because 330 + 30 = 360. So, this year the tuition will be 3990, because 3630 + 360 = 3990.

Hope this helps
