Question 1016901: Every year a man is paid $500 more than the previous year. If he receives $17800 over four years, what was he paid in the first year? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
4 years of $500 extra a year = $2000
$17800 - $2000 = $15800
First year = $15800 + $500 = $16300
Second year = $16300 + $500 = $16800
Third year = $16800 + $500 = $17300
Fourth year = $17300 + $500 = $17800
Hope this helps :-)
