Q. Aubrey just got hired for a new job and will make $43,000 in her first year. Aubrey was told that she can expect to get raises of $2,000 every year going forward. How much money in salary would Aubrey make in her 28th year working at this job?Answer: $ \(\square\)
Calculate Raises Over 27 Years: Aubrey's starting salary is $43,000, and she gets a raise of $2,000 every year. To find out her salary in the 28th year, we need to calculate the total amount of raises she will have received by then. Since she gets her first raise at the end of her first year, we need to find the total raises for 27 years.
Calculate Total Raises: The total amount of raises after 27 years can be calculated by multiplying the annual raise amount by the number of years. So, we calculate \$\(2\),\(000\) \times \(27\)\$.
Find \(28\)th Year Salary: \(\$2,000 \times 27\) equals \(\$54,000\). This is the total amount of raises Aubrey will have received by the end of her \(27^{\text{th}}\) year.
Add Raises to Starting Salary: To find Aubrey's salary in her \(28\)th year, we add the total raises to her starting salary. So, we calculate \(\$43,000 + \$54,000\).
Calculate Final Salary: \(\$43,000\) + \(\$54,000\) equals \(\$97,000\). This is Aubrey's salary in her \(28^{\text{th}}\) year.
