a.
256
c.
3.56
b.
2.56
d.
35.6

Answer 1

missing value in the table is 3.56

Explanation:

Percent 13% 256% 28% 97%

Growth Factor 1.13 ? 1.28 1.97

To find growth factor first we remove the percentage and then we add 1

we are given with 246 %

to remove percentage we divide by 100

`(256)/(100) = 2.56`

To get growth factor we add 1

1+2.56= 3.56

so growth factor is 3.56

missing value in the table is 3.56

Answer 2

To get the growth factor from a percentage increase, express the percentage as a decimal, then add 1.
256% = 2.56
2.56 + 1 = 3.56

The appropriate choice is ...
c. 3.56
