Henry invested $12,000 in a new restaurant. When the restaurant was sold two years later, he received $27,000. Find his average annual return by solving the equation 12,000(1+r)^2=27,000 Thanks for the help. 1 solutions Answer 97746 by checkley71(8403)   on 2008-03-25 10:19:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12000(1+R)^2=27000 (1+R)^2=27000/12000 (1+R)^2=2.25 1+2R+R^2=2.25 R^2+2R+1-2.25=0 R^2+2R-1.25=0 (R-.5)(R+2.5)=0 5-.5=0 R=.5 OR 50% IS THE ANNUAL RETURN.
