Question 726271
{{{ S(t) = 100*2^t }}}
given: {{{ S(t) = 1000 }}}
{{{ 1000 = 100*2^t }}}
{{{ 2^t = 10 }}}
{{{ t*log( 2 ) = log( 10 ) }}}
{{{ t = 1 / log(2) }}}
{{{ t = 1 / .30103 }}}
{{{ t = 3.322 }}}
1997 + 3 yrs = 2000
In the year 2000, the sales reached 1000 million
check:
{{{ S(t) = 100*2^t }}}
{{{ 1000 = 100*2^3.322 }}} 
{{{ 1000 = 100*10.0005 }}}
{{{ 1000 = 1000.0005 }}} close enough
