Answer:

Refer explanation.

Explanation:

The exponent is 0.012x (to the power of e), so when you plug in x, you need to multiply 0.012 by x (what you're plugging in), so 0.012x36 = 0.432

At this point, since exponents are the first operation in this problem, you do e^0.432, remember that e is not just a variable it is a number when the exponent is set to a number. (ex. e^1 is 2.718~, e^2 is 7.38~), so e^.432 is 1.54~ which when mulitplied by 906, is 1396.
