Question 1202130: The formula S=C(1+r)^t models inflation, where C=the value today, r= the annual inflation rate (in decimal form), and S= the inflated value t years from now. If the inflation rate is 2%, how much will a house now worth $100,000 be worth in 25 years? Round your answer to the nearest dollar?
THE WORK I HAVE DONE SO FAR
---------------------------------------------------------
C=$100,000
R=2% --> 0.02
S= (find S)
t=25 years

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They want you SUBSTITUTE the given values into the given formula

    S = 100000%2A%281%2B0.02%29%5E25 = 100000%2A1.02%5E25.


Next they want you use your calculator.  If you do it, you shoud get

    S = 164061  dollars  (rounded to the closest dollar).   ANSWER

Solved.

That's all they want you do   (which I made for you).
