Question

One year, a group of doctors held a fundraiser and sent $35,885 to a clinic in need of support. Every year after that, the doctors sent another $2500. After how many years will the total amount sent by the doctors first exceed $250,000?

Answer 1

2500Y + 35,885 = 250,000

2500Y +35885 -35885= 250,000 - 35885 

2500Y/2500 = 214115/2500 

Y= 85.64

85 years is the answer

y=years
