Answer 1

214 Trucks :)

Answer 2

214

Explanation:

The number of trucks registered in a city increases by 10% each year.

Rate = 10% =0.1

Initial Amount of trucks = 100

Time = 8 years

We are supposed to find the number of trucks registered in the city at the end of year 8

Formula :
`y=a(1+b)^t`

where y in the amount after t years

a is the initial amount

b is the rate of increase in decimals

Substitute the values

`y=100(1+0.1)^8`

`y=214.358`

So, the number of trucks registered in the city at the end of year 8 is 214.
