Explanation:

As per given data

Value of lottery in 1901 = $330

Winner's Check in 2015 = $1,690,000

Numbers of Years = 2015 - 1901 = 114 years

Use following formula to calculate annual percentage increase

Future value = Present value  x ( 1 + annual percentage increase)^numbers of years

Where

Future value is Winner's Check value in 2015

Present value is Value of lottery in 1901

Place values in the formula

$1,690,000 = $330 x ( 1 + annual percentage increase)^114

$1,690,000 / $330 = ( 1 + annual percentage increase)^114

5,121.21 =  ( 1 + annual percentage increase)^114

( 5,121.21 )^1/114 = 1 + annual percentage increase

1.0778 = 1 + annual percentage increase

Annual percentage increase = 1.0778 - 1

Annual percentage increase = 0.0778

Annual percentage increase = 7.78%

Use following formula to calculate the value in 2015

Future value = Present value  x ( 1 + annual percentage increase)^numbers of years

Where

Present value = $1,690,000

Future value =?

Annual Percentage increase = 7.78%

Numbers of years = 2050 - 2015 = 35 Years

Place the value in the formula

Future value = $1,690,000  x ( 1 + 7.78% )^35

Future value = $23,266,067.23
