Need help with pre-cal?

Show me the steps

I have to use one of the formula

I=prt

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

A=Pe^rt

P=Ae^-rt

P=A(1+r/n)^-nt

Carla has just inherited a building that is worth $250,000. The building is in a high demand area, and the value of the building is projected to increase at a rate of 25% per year for the next 4 years. How much more money will she make if she waits four years to sell the building instead of selling now?

Today’s price is 250,000

next year’s is 250000 +25% of 250000 that is

250000 +( 0.25)(250000) or

250000(1 +0.25)

in 2 years, the price will be

{250000(1 +0.25)} + 25% of {250000(1 +0.25)}

simplifying thisto get

{250000(1 +0.25)}{1 +0.25)} = {250000(1 +0.25)^2},

you see the relation ; after 2 years you have (1 +0.25)^2 factor….

and so on….

250,000 multiplied by (1 +0.25)^4 =

250,000(2.4414) = $610351 (Rounded)

She makes $610351 – 250000= $360351

You MUST have a good understanding of geometry as well. I took algebra and algebra II in high school – straight a’s (my year end grade in alg II was a 100) but I never took geometry. When I started pre-cal the next year I was absolutely lost.
