Question

Emma starts a food blog. When the blog is launched, the number of subscribers is 486. Every month, the number of subscribers increases by one-third of the number of subscribers in the previous month. At this rate, what will be the number of subscribers after 6 months?

Answer 1

2,731

Explanation:

1/3 of 486 is 162

486+162=648

1/3 of 648 is 216

648+216=864

1/3 of 864 is 288

864+288=1152

1/3 of 1152 is 384

1152+384=1536

1/3 of 1536 is 512

1536+512=2048

1/3 of 2048 is 683

2048+683= 2731
