To determine how much Jamal will earn in seven years if he continues to earn $125,000 a year, you can use the following equation:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Annual Salary} \times \text{Number of Years} \]
In this case, the equation would be:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 125,000 , \text{dollars/year} \times 7 , \text{years} \]
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 125,000 \times 7 = 875,000 \]
So, if Jamal continues to earn $125,000 per year for seven years, he will earn a total of $875,000.
