According to financial reports, the average household credit card debt in 2010 was $7768 and in 2012 was $7117. What is the rate of change of the credit card debt per year? If this trend were to continue, how much would you expect the average household credit card debt to be in 2016?

Respuesta :

Answer: 1953

Step-by-step explanation: You need to subtract 7768 and 7117 to find the average change in 2 years; you get 651, divide this by 2 to find the amount of change in 1 year and you'll get 325.5, now if we take 325.5 times 6 (the amount of years until 2016) you will find 1953 as the answer.
