month, how many page views can he expect 8 months from now?

Answer 1

Answer: 590.98217751

Explanation:

32,400(1.05)^8

590.98217751

Answer 2

47,870

Explanation:

Plug in 32,400 page views for the initial amount, 0.05 for the rate of increase, and 8 months for the time elapsed.

y

= a(1+r)t

y

= 32,400(1+0.05)8 Plug in values

y

= 32,400(1.05)8 Add

y

= 32,400(1.47745…) Simplify

y

= 47,869.55637… Multiply

Round to the nearest whole number.

47,869.55637… → 47,870

To the nearest whole number, Isaac can expect 47,870 page views.
