Answer:
The equation is an exponential growth equation.
$228,000 represents the initial cost of a real estate that appreciates 3% per year over the course of years.
Step-by-step explanation:
the correct equation is: V(C)=228,000(1.03)^t
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth equation: Â
A = P (1 + r) t Â
Where: Â
p = initial cost
r = growing rate (decimal form) Â
t= years Â
A =cost after t years Â
Before applying the formula:
1.03 = 1+r
1.03-1 =r
0.03=r
Replacing with the values given: Â
A = 228,000 (1+ 0.03)^t
r = 0.03
Since r  is in decimal form, we have to multiply it by 100 Â
0.03 x 100 = 3% appreciation per year
