Question 1034832: The student enrollment of East End High School was 1,250 students in 1990 and increased at a rate of 10% per year until 2004. From 2004 until 2010, the enrollment increased by 6% each year.
Approximately how many students were enrolled at East End High School in 2010?
A. about 8,409
B. about 3,524
C. about 5,282
D. about 6,732
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(2004) = P(1990)(1.10)^14 = 1250(1.1)^14 = 4747 or so
Then we repeat the calculation with new numbers...
P(2010) = P(2004)(1.06)^6 = 4747(1.06)^6 = 6734 or so
Choice D.
