Answer:
3 is the correct answer (see explanations for each possible choice)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 cannot be right because 3 times smaller than 9 would be 3 as 1/3*9=3
2 cannot be right because 3 less than 9 is 9-3=6
3 is right because 3 times as much as 9 is 9*3=27
4 cannot be right because 3 more than 9 is 3+9=12
First we eliminate any answers that can't be the answer.
2) can be eliminated because it implies subtraction instead of multiplication. Same with 4).
Now it is narrowed down to 1) and 3).
1) it is 3 times smaller than 9
3) it is 3 times as much as 9
It is not 1). The keywords 'times smaller' implies division.
So the answer is 3).
Hope it helps!

1yr 47,000
2nd yr 47,000 x 4% = 48,880
3rd yr 48,880 x 5.6% = 51,617.28
4th yr 51,617.28 x 11.1% = 57,346.7981 or 57,346.80
the slope for the first one is 0
the slope for the second one is 2
the slope for the third one is 3/8
