Based on the function given, the year when the cost of mailing a first class letter would reach 60 cents is 2007.
If the cost of mailing a first-class letter is 41 cents, then the inflation rate has not stayed constant.
What year does the cost reach 60 cents?
0.60 = 0.29 (1.046)^t
0.60 / 0.29 = (1.046)^t
log (2.07) = t x log (1.046)
t = 16 years
Added to 1991:
= 1991 + 16
= 2007
The cost of mailing a first-class ticket was 41 cents however which means that inflation was not constant.
