Respuesta :

she will earn 25,500 because in the pattern you add 1,500

Answer:

$25,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Li works at a printing company. for her first year, her salary was $21,000. for her second year, her salary was $22,500, and for her third year her salary was $24,000.    

Let us find the difference between consecutive salaries for two years.    

[tex]\$22,500-\$21,000=\$1500[/tex]

[tex]\$24,000-\$22,500=\$1500[/tex]

We can see that every next year Li's salary increases by $1500.

So Li's salary for 4th year will be $1500 more than the salary for her 3rd year salary.

[tex]\text{Li's salary for 4th year}=\$24,000+\$1,500[/tex]

[tex]\text{Li's salary for 4th year}=\$25,500[/tex]

Therefore, Li's salary for 4th year will be $25,500.
