Round to the nearest whole number. Found 2 solutions by fractalier, Cromlix:Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given that it grows exponentially, we write
P(4) = P(0)*(1.0425)^4
p(4) = 240000*(1.0425)^4 = 283476 to the nearest whole person...
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
100% + 4.25%
= 104.25%
104.25% = 104.25/100 = 1.0425 (factor)
240,000 x 1.0425^10
= 363,891.
Hope this helps :-)
