Question

1. Pretend that in a certain city the number of new cases of a virus was reported to be 800 new cases on Sunday. Let’s pretend that the number of new cases grows by 15% on Monday, grows by 5% on Tuesday, and then falls 10% on Wednesday, and finally falls again 10% on Thursday.
a. What will the number of new cases be on Thursday after all of this growth and falling?

Answer 1

The number of new cases be on Thursday after all of this growth and falling is 956.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

There are initially 800 cases, hence:

Number of cases on Monday = 1.15 * 800 = 920

Number of cases on Tuesday = 1.05 * 920 = 966

Number of cases on Wednesday = 0.9 * 966 = 869.4

Number of cases on Thursday = 1.1 * 869.4 = 956.34

The number of new cases be on Thursday after all of this growth and falling is 956.
