Question

A video posted on the internet is becoming very popular, and the total number of views is

increasing by 30% every hour. If the video currently has 46,000 views, how many views will
it have in 2 hours?

Answer 1

The number of views on video after 2 hrs is 77, 740.

Explanation:

The current number of likes on the video = 46,000

The rate of increasing likes per hour = 30%

Now, the increase of likes in the next hour = 30% of 46,000

30% of 46,000
`(30)/(100) * 46,000 = 13,800`

So, the number of likes increased in 1 hour = 13,800

⇒Number of likes after 1 hour = Current likes + increased amount in 1 hr

= 46,000 + 13,800 = 59,800

Now, the number of likes increased in 2nd hour = 30% of 59,800

⇒ 30% of 59,800
`(30)/(100) * 59,800 = 17,940`

So, the number of likes increased in 2nd hour = 17,940

⇒Number of likes after 2 hour = Current likes + increased views in 2 hr

= 59,800 + 17,940 = 77,740

Hence, the number of views on video after 2 hrs is 77,740.
