Answer 2

8,555,000

Explanation:

The sales were $8,155,000 in 2012.

If their sales go up $100,000 every year, add $100,000.

2016 is 4 years apart from 2012.

So, multiply 100,000 x 4.

The answer is 400,000, right?

Add that to 8,155,000.

You get 8,555,000.

So, Borden's sales were 8,555,000 by 2016.
