    In 1985, winner's prize money = $170

    in 2007 winner's cheque = $ 1,173,000

    percentage increase per year:

    170 * (1 + r) ^n = 1173000

    (1+r) ^112 = 6900

    r = 8.212%

    b) If the winner's prize increases at the same rate, amount will it be in 2040

    = $170 * (1+8.212%) ^145 = $15,863,002
