Question 1 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B

Ms. Clark earned $29,600 in her third year as a banker and $32,600 in her seventh year. How much did she make in her tenth year? Assume that her yearly salaries form an arithmetic sequence.

Answer
A
$28,100
B
$34,850
C
$55,550
D
$58,100

Explanation

Her salary increased by $32,600 − $29,600 = $3,000 over four years, so the yearly increase was $3,000 ÷ 4 = $750. From her seventh year to her tenth year is three years, adding 3 × $750 = $2,250 to $32,600. She made $34,850 in her tenth year, choice B.
