Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find how much of 125000 is increasing. Once we do that, it is basically a slope intercept equation.
We know that 1.6 percent of 125000 is 2000.
We know have y=2000x+125000
There are two ways to solve this, either plug in the given values of a, b, c, and d into the equation and see if it equal 175000, or we we set the equation equal to 175000
If we do the second easiet option, we have
2000x+125000=175000 Use inverse operations
2000x=50000
x=25, or roughly option b.
If we plug in b, we get y=2000(21)+125000 or 167000
