Answer

At the current rate, 2420 pounds will be the weight bench pressed after 2 months.

Step-by-step explanation

A given quantity that increases by a constant rate monthly can have its current value calculated according to the formula,

A = A₀ (1 + r)ᵗ

A = Value after a given time t (in months)

A₀ = Initial value = 200 pounds

r = rate of increase = 10% monthly = 0.10

t = time = 2 months

A = A₀ (1 + r)ᵗ

A = 2000 (1 + 0.1)²

A = 2000 (1.1)²

A = 2000 (1.21)

A = 2,420 pounds

Hope this Helps!!!
