For this case, you must use an equation of the potential type.

We have then:

y = A (b) ^ t

where,

A: initial quantity of gas grills sold.

b: increase in sales every year.

t: amount of time in years.

We then have to replace the values:

y = (3300) * (1.06) ^ (6)

y = 4681.11307

round to the nearest whole number:

y = 4681

Answer:

the store expect to sell in year 6:

4681 grills
