Step-by-step explanation:
There isn't too much context here buddy :p
You can use a number line to add and subtract
There's a number missing from the question. It's supposed to be right before the word "times".
If it were there, the answer would be (5 times that number).
The way the question is written, without that number, there's no answer.
Is there supposed to be an equation that follows? Can I see the entire question?
This is a case of exponential growth. The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50
or = 500 (1.15)^50
Evaluate this on your calculator.
