You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bob has owned a cabinet for 9 years. It is now worth $700.00. The value has been increasing 7% each year. Find the value of the cabinet 9 years ago. Also how much will it be worth in 10 years?
----------------
Let value 9 years ago be "x"
[(1.07)^9] x = 700
x = 700/(1.07)^9 = $380.75
--------------------------
Let value 10 years from not be "x"
(1.07)^10 * 700 = x
x = $1377.01
================
