Question

The initial number of views for a reader board is 25. The number of views is growing exponentially at a rate of 18% per week. What is the number of views expected to be four weeks from now?

Answer 1

48 views.

Explanation:

18% = 0.18 as a decimal fraction.

The increase in number of books per week is found by multiplying by 1.18.

The equation is an exponential one and is:

V = 25(1.18)^t where V = views and t = number of weeks.

So after 4 weeks :

V = 25 (1.18)^4

= 48.47

Answer 2

48

Explanation:

n = 25(1.18)^4

n = 48.469444

Rounded to 48
