Question

Aria studied the traffic trends in India. She found that the number of cars on the road increases by 10% each year. If there were 80 million cars in year 1 of her study, how many more cars were on the road in year 3 compared to year 2? 8,000,000 8,800,000 88,000,000 96,800,000

Answer 1

8,800,000cars

Explanation:

Given the initial amount of cars = 80,000,000

If there is 10 % increase in the first year;

Increment = 10% of 80,000,000

Increment = 0.1 * 80,000,000

Increment = 8,000,000

Amount of car in year 2 = 80million + 8million = 88million

Year3;

Amount of car in year 3 = 88,000,000+(10%of88million)

Amount of car in year 3 = 88,000,000+8,800,000

Amount of car in year 3 =96,800,000

Differences in the number of cars = 96,800,000 - 88,000,000

Differences in the number of cars = 8,800,000cars

Hence there are 8,800,000cars in years 3 than year 2
