Question 1110457: The number of fish on a fish farm increases by approximately 10% each month. If there were originally 350 fish, calculate to the nearest 100 how many fish there would be after 12 months. Answer by ikleyn(52814) (Show Source):
After 1 month: 350*(1+0.1) = 350*1.1.
After 2 months: 350*(1+0.1)*(1+0.1) = .
After 3 months: 350*(1+0.1)*(1+0.1)*(1+0.1) = .
. . . and so on . . .
After 12 months: .
