So, if fuel is $3 a gallon, and it will go up 2% every year, what will fuel cost in 20 years?
I keep coming up with $61 and that seems too high. Aviator |
Fucking hate math. This guy is correct, though.

I come up with $4.20.......................but our differences are because of the way the question is asked that leaves it open to interpretation.
Ie, my 2% each year is based on the base level of $3 which $.06. Times 20 years, that's an additional $1.20. That is, each year, gas goes up 2% from the base amount. Granted, that probably isn't what the question intended............but the question didn't ask that. ___________________________________________________ ("So you see, I did tell you the truth.....from a certain point of view."––Ben, (w,stte), "Return of the Jedi") |
