Respuesta :

Given that,

The equation is,

[tex]P_n=P_{n-1}+12000[/tex]

withg initial sales,

[tex]P_0=27000[/tex]

a) To calculate P1 and P2

Put n=1 in the given equation

[tex]P_1=P_0+12000[/tex]

Substitute the values, we get,

[tex]=27000+12000=39000[/tex]

d)To find the time (n) store's sales exceed $97,000

Let Pn=97000

we get,

[tex]97000=27000+12000n[/tex][tex]12000n=97000-27000[/tex][tex]n=5.8[/tex]

Answer is: 5.8 years
