Answer:

Betsy isn't correct. Betsy's calculations are wrong as she made her calculations by multiplying the base number of customers by 3 and then summing it all up for the 4 years under review instead of a continuous multiplication by 3.

26 × 3 × 4 is different from 26 × 3⁴

- If Betsy meets her target for the next 4 years, she will have 2106 customers in 4 years time.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Betsy started her business 2 years ago.

- In the first year, Betsy has 8 customers.

- In the second year, Betsy added 18 customers,

- So, her customers are now 8+18 = 26

- Betsy's goal is that in each of the next 4 years, she will have three times as many customers as the year before.

If the base number of customers is truly 26 this year,

Next year, Betsy would have 26 × 3 = 78 customers.

In 2 years, she would have 78 × 3 = 234

Thus indicating that in t years from now, the number of her customers will be

N(t) = N₀ × 3ᵗ

where

N(t) = number of customers t time from now

N₀ = number of customers at the moment = 26

t = number of years from now.

N(t) = 26 × 3ᵗ

In 4 years from now, Betsy will have

N(t=4) = 26 × 3⁴ = 2,106

So, it is evident that Betsy's calculations are wrong as she made her calculations by multiplying the base number of customers by 3 and then summing it all up for the 4 years under review instead of a continuous multiplication by 3.

26 × 3 × 4 is different from 26 × 3⁴

- If Betsy meets her target for the next 4 years, she will have 2106 customers in 4 years time.

Hope this Helps!!!
