<span>Initial number of the people that belong to a certain social website is 412. It is growing at a rate of 5% every month. It means that every month the number of people is growing 1.05 times. We can calculate how many of them will there be in 9 months: 412 * 1.05^9 = 412 * 1.55 = 638.6. When we round to the nearest whole number: there will be 369 members.</span>
The 3 represents a whole number.
The .62 is representing 62% of a number, and the three is the whole number.
The answer would be 11x-12
