Question 397653: The gross domestic product, or GDP, of the United States was about $10.99 trillion in 2003. Assume that the GDP grows 3.1% each year. Use an exponential model to find which percent best describes the GDP growth that occurs over 18 years? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The gross domestic product, or GDP, of the United States was about $10.99 trillion in 2003.
Assume that the GDP grows 3.1% each year. Use an exponential model to find which percent best describes the GDP growth that occurs over 18 years?
----
To find the percent growth: (1.031)^18 = 1.73
The percent growth is 73%
