Question

A town of 3200, grows at a rate of 25% every year. Find the size of the city in 10 years.​

Answer 1

After 10 years the size of the city will be 29802.32239

Explanation:

1st year 3200 x 1.25 = 4000

2nd year 4000 x 1.25= 5000

3rd year 5000 x 1.25 = 6250

4th year 6425 x 1.25 = 7812.5

5th year 7812.5 x 1.25 = 9765.625

6th year 9765.625 x 1.25 = 12207.03125

7th year 12207.03125 x 1.25 = 15258.78906

8th year 15258.78906 x 1.25 = 19073.48633

9th year 19073.48633 x 1.25 = 23841.85791

10th year 23841.85791 x 1.25 = 29802.32239
