Question 993407: Patrick increases how far he cycles each week by 20%. If he cycled 60km in his first week, how many km did he travel in his fifth week? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
100% + 20 % = 120%
120% = 120/100 = 1.2
This is the factor.
The power is the number of weeks - 5
60 x 1.2^5
= 149.3 km.
Hope this helps :-)
