The first five prices on the copy are shown below.$54.80$60.00$65.40$70.80$78.20In the original list, the prices had increased by the same amount each time.What was the next price on the original list?
Correct answer: A. $81.60
- A. $81.60
- B. $81.80
- C. $83.60
- D. $85.60
Explanation
The correct answer is $81.60. The original list of prices increases by $2.80 each time. Therefore, after $78.20, the next price would be $81.60. The other options do not align with the consistent pattern of price increases observed in the question.
