Answer

Answer choice $C$

Work Step by Step

Cross out the first sentence as it doesn't help us do the problem. The doll's current value is $96$ dollars. The value doubles every 15 years, and the problem is asking for the price after 60 years. We know that $60/15 = 4$, so the value doubles 4 times. Therefore, the price after 60 years can be represented by this expression. $96 (2)^4$ $= 96 * 16$ $= 1536$ This is the price of the doll 60 years from now, and the answer that matches is choice $C$
