Question

A recent survey showed that 23.1 million adults have cut the cord on cable TV services, a 20% increase from the previous year. If this trend continues, how many millions of adults can be expected to cut the cord next year? (Enter a number as an exact integer or decimal.)

Answer 1

Answer:27.7million adults.

Explanation:

The recent survey showed that 23.1 million adults have cut the cord on cable TV services and this is a 20% increase from the previous year.

If this trend continues, the amount by which the number of adults that would cut the cord on cable TV services would increase is

20/100 × 23100000 = 4620000

The number of adults expected to cut the cord next year would be

23100000 + 4620000 = 27720000
