Hi there! So the situation that we are talking about for this is compounding, because the population is growing.. The formula for compounding something is P(1 + r)^t, with P representing the initial amount, r representing the rate, and t representing the time in years. First off, let's add the rate into 1. 1.2% is 0.012 in decimal form. 1 + 0.012 is 1.012. Now, because we are looking for the population after 4 years. We raise 1.012 to the 4th power. 1.012^4 is 1.04887093274. It's a long decimal, but do not delete this number from your calculator. Now, we multiply that number by 38,300 in order to get 40,171.7567238 or 40,172 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The population of Huntersville will be 40,172 people in 4 years.
If it is supposed to say <span>seven more bunches of tulips than roses, that would mean, if there are 35 bunches in all, and if each bunch had 12 of the same flowers.... that must mean each bunch had 12 flowers so, 12*1/2/35. 35/1/2 would be 35/0.5 that would equal... 17.5. so, 12*17.5= 210. if there was seven more added, than, 7/2= 3.5 and 12*3.5= 42. 210+42=252.
That means there are 252 tulips, i might be wrong (i probably am), i am just going by logic, lol
