Answer:

$125i$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find

Since 1995 the cost of a bag of groceries has increased about 2.5% each year. The equation C = 25(1.025)x will give the value of

Marianna [84]

Answer: 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation showing the value of the bag after x years is $C=25(1.025)^x$

If the price of the bag increased by 2.5%, from the equation, we can deduce that

Initial cost of the bag is 25

Double of the initial value is 50

Insert it in the equation

$\Rightarrow 50=25(1.025)^x\\\Rightarrow 2=1.025^x\\\text{Taking natural log}\\\Rightarrow \ln 2=x\ln (1.025)\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln 2}{\ln 1.025}\\\\\Rightarrow x=28.07\approx 28$

It will take 28 years
