Congratulations! Your new job includes a view of the window and a $35,000 salary with a 3% annual raise. In five years (when you will surely have your own window), how much will your salary be?

Answer:

$40,250

Explanation:

lol, this is the first funny math question I've seen......

anyway

the equation for the salary of one year is; 35,000+1050x; x=1

(3% of 35,000 is 1050)

x= # of years

so we will substitute x as 5

35,000+1050(5)

35,000+5250=40250

hope this helps
