Question 45570: Venture Capital. Henry invested $12,000 in a new restaurant. When the restaurant was sold 2 years later, he received $27,000. Find his average annual return by solving the equation 12000(1 + r)² = 27000. Please show all work and solution. Thank you. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12000(1 + r)² = 27000
(1+r)^2=2.25
Take the square root of both sides to get:
1+r=1.5
r=0.5
