Question

A video posted on the internet is becoming very popular, and the total number of views is increasing by 40% every hour. If the video currently has 74,300 views, how many views will it have in 9 hours?

Answer 1

74304 approx.

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

current view of the video is marked at =74300

the rate of increase is 40%

let the number of hours be x

and let the total views be y

hence the linear function for the total is

y=0.4x+74300

Required is the value of y when x=9

Step two:

substitute x=9

y=0.4(9)+74300

y=3.6+74300

y=74303.6

y=74304 approx.
