If the number increases each year, then the 15% starts with a bigger number each year.
The first increase raises 300 million to (1.15 times 300 million) = 345 million.
The next increase raises 345 million to (1.15 times 345 million) = 396.75 million.
and so on and so on.
This is just like compound interest in a bank. Each time the bank
pays you interest on your savings, it pays interest on a bigger amount.
In this problem, the number of cars increases
... at the end of 2000 / beginning of 2001
... at the end of 2001 / beginning of 2002
... at the end of 2002 / beginning of 2003
... at the end of 2003 / beginning of 2004 .
That's four times. Each increase raises it 15% higher than it was before.
So you need to find
(1.15) · (1.15) · (1.15) · (1.15) of 300 million.
The way to write that is
(300 million) · (1.15)⁴ = 524 million 701 thousand 875 cars.
Rounded to the nearest whole million, that's 525 million.

Answer : The different is, find BC - AC and find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same.
Step-by-step explanation :
As see that, AB is a line segment in which point C is represented in between the line.
As we are given that:
AC = 3
CB = 7
So,
AC + CB = 3 + 7 = 10
Similarly,
CA + BC = 3 + 7 = 10
Similarly,
AB = AC + CB = 3 + 7 = 10
But,
BC - AC = 7 - 3 = 4
From this we conclude that, find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same things while find BC - AC is a different thing.
Hence, the different is, find BC - AC and find AC + CB, find AB and find CA + BC are same.
So the ratio of "The scale on a map indicates that 1 inch corresponds to an actual distance of 95 miles.", is...
Scale on map : Actual Distance
1 : 95 miles
We need to find the actual distance for 4.5 inches on the map.
4.5 : x
Just multiply 4.5 with 95 and you would get 427.5 miles.
So the actual distance between the two cities is 427.5 miles.
