A certain company reported selling 5,000 toys during the month of January and expects sales to grow at a rate of 7.5% per month until the end of that year. How many toys should the company expect to sell by the end of June of that year?

January sales are 5,000, and each following month’s sales are 7.5% higher than the month before. The six monthly amounts from January through June form a geometric series, totaling 5,000 × (1.075⁶ − 1) ÷ 0.075 ≈ 36,220 toys. The correct choice is 36,220.
