Question 9 • 2025-2026 FBISD - Precalculus B (CR)

A company has a property tax bill for $6,000 this year. It expects property values to rise by 8% each year, which will increase the property tax bill by 8% each year. To the nearest dollar, what is the expected amount of property taxes the company will pay for this year and the upcoming three years?

Answer
A
$24,080
B
$24,480
C
$27,037
D
$29,200

Explanation

The bill increases by 8% each year, so multiply each year’s bill by 1.08 to find the next one. The four bills are $6,000, $6,480, $6,998.40, and $7,558.27. Their total is $27,036.67, which rounds to $27,037. The correct choice is $27,037.
