Answer 1

When the Dragons have lost their most recent game, fans buy 200 tickets. For each consecutive win the Dragons have, the number of tickets fans buy increases by a factor of 1.1.

Which expression gives the number of tickets fans buy after 4 consecutive wins?

Answer 2

Y(4) = 200(1.1)^4

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of tickets purchased before consecutive wins = 200

For each consecutive win, ticket purchased increases by a factor of 1.1

Number of tickets after 4 wins

This scenario describes an exponential relation :

Where increase is factor based and not a certain number :

Hence,

Number of tickets, Y= Initial number of ticket * growth factor^number of wins

Hence, we have

Y(n) = 200(1.1)^n

Y(4) = 200(1.1)^4 = 292.82
