Question

The number of fish on a fish farm increases by approximately 10% each month. If there were originally 350 fish, calculate to the nearest 100 how many fish there would be after 12 months.​

Answer 1

There would be 600 fish after 12 months.

Explanation:

The number of fish on the farm increases by 10% each month, so the formula to calculate the number of fish after n months is:

F = 350 * (1 + 0.1)^n

where,

F is the number of fish after n months

We want to find the number of fish after 12 months, so:

F = 350 * (1 + 0.1)^12

F = 350 * 1.719178

F = 603.56 to the nearest 100, which is 600.
