Answer 7

so what we know is that the smiths spent $2,000 on clothes in a particular year.

so if they increase the amount they spend on clothes by 10% each year in this case how much will spend :

first year = ?
second year = ?
3rd year = ?
4th year = ?

first year

10% of 2000 = 200 => first year they spend 2000+200 = $2200

second year

10% of 2200 = 220 => second year they spend 2200+220 = $2420

3rd year

10% of 2420 = 242 => 3rd year they spend 2420 + 242 = $2662

4th year

10% of 2662 = 266,20 => 4th year they spend 2662 + 266,20 = $2928,20

Answer 9

You would be correct on everything, but when you list numbers with a decimal, try and use a period instead of a comma so it doesn't confuse anyone.

Answer 10

how you say - think - use a period ?
