Let's go through this problem step by step while bearing in mind the concept of
PEMDAS.
Step 1:

Declaration of the expression. Nothing wrong here yet.
Step 2:

Clarise evaluated what's inside the parenthesis first - which was the right thing to do! There are no mistakes in this step.
Step 3:

In this step she subtracted first. This should not be the case! PEMDAS tells us that the exponents and division gets higher priority than subtraction. This is therefore the first mistake Clarise makes.
Step 4:

In this step Clarise evaluates the exponent. This does not violate any rules (relative to the previous expression) since PEMDAS tells us that exponents take higher priority than division.
Step 5:

(Clarise's final answer)
In Clarise's final step, she manages to get the wrong answer! Dividing 51.68 by 0.16 would give us 323. This is another mistake of Clarise.
Looking at the choices, we can now identify what mistakes Clarise made:
-She subtracted before evaluating the exponents
-She subtracted before she divided
-She divided incorrectly
So an exponential equation is gonna be used for this problem. The formula for such is

, in which the a variable is the initial value and the b variable is the growth/decay rate.
For this situation, 1200 is gonna be your a variable since you've started out with it. And as for your b variable, its gonna be 107.3%, or 1.073, since it's increasing.
Your equation should look like this:

and from here just plug in 10 into the x variable and solve.
Multiply (1.073)^10 (don't round answers until the end), and take that answer and multiply it with 1200, your answer should be $2427.61.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
It's 2 because 4^2 is 8 and 1^2 is 2 so that's how I got my answer
