Answer:

The equation model is P = Po * e^rt

The population after 10 years = 18, 559 (most approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the population growth.

P = Po * e^rt

Where P is the total population after t years

Po is the initial population

r = rate of growth

t = time

e = 2.71 [Euler number]

The equation model is P = Po * e^rt

Now to find the population after 10 years, we have to plug in the given values in the formula.

Given:

Po = 15, 200, r = 2% = 2/100 = 0.02, and t = 10 years

P = 15,200*e^0.02(10)

P = 15,200*2.71^0.2

P = 15,200 *1.221

P = 18, 559

Therefore, the population after 10 years = 18, 559 (most approximately)

<span><span>1.       </span>So the current population of the town is 15 200 and is growing per year with 2%.
Find the population number after 10 years.
First, let’s find the value of 2%  in decimal form
=> 2/100
=> 0.02

Now, let’s try to solve
Population = 15 200 ( 1 + (0.02 x 10) )
Population = 15 200 ( 1 + 0.2 )
Population = 15 200 + 3040
Population =  18 240
Thus, in 10 years, the town’s population will increase to 18 240.

Write the percent shown by each model. Explain your reasoning.
Sphinxa [80]
A) 1/3=33 1/3%
B) 2/3=66 2/3%
C) 1/6=16 2/3%

A) YOU CAN TURN THE FRACTION 1/3 INTO A DECIMAL WHICH WILL BE AROUND 0.333. THEN YOU TURN THE DECIMAL INTO A PERCENT. YOU CAN MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. THAT GIVES YOU 33.3% OR 33 1/3% THIS ALSO APPLIES TO B BUT WITH 0.666 AND 66.6%

FOR C, YOU DO THE SAME. 1/6 AS A DECIMAL IS 1.666. YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. 16.6% OR 16 2/3%


HOPE THIS HELPED.

615.44 to the nearest hundredth
Leya [2.2K]
When rounding, look to the next place to the right of what you are rounding to... for example if you are rounding to the nearest hundredth, look to the thousandths place to see if the hundredths place rounds up or down. Since your number, 615.44 stops on the hundredths place, the thousandths place is automatically zero, so your number stays the same.
