Noa makes $48000 in her st year working,$56000 in her 2nd year,$64000 in her 3rd year, and so on. Assume the pattern continues. How much will Noa make in her 13th year working?

Answer 1

Noa's salary increases by $8,000 each year. We can express her salary for any given year using the formula:

\[ \text{Salary in year } n = 48000 + (n - 1) \times 8000 \]

For the 13th year, substitute \( n = 13 \) into the formula:

\[ \text{Salary in year } 13 = 48000 + (13 - 1) \times 8000 \]

Calculating this step by step:

1. Calculate \( 13 - 1 \): \[ 13 - 1 = 12 \]

2. Multiply by 8000: \[ 12 \times 8000 = 96000 \]

3. Add this to 48000: \[ 48000 + 96000 = 144000 \]

Thus, Noa will make $144,000 in her 13th year working.
