Answer:

12,138 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation using the basic exponential growth equation:

y = a(1 + r)^t, where a is the initial amount, r is the growth rate as a decimal, and t is the amount of time in years.

Plug in the values we know

y = a(1 + r)^t

y = 8200(1 + 0.04)^10

y = 8200(1.04)^10

= 12,138 people

A hallway measuring 90 feet x 7 feet requires 1/2 a fluid ounce of cleaning solution per square foot. How much cleaning solution

True [87]

Think of it as a very long and wide but thin box. First find the area.. So 90 x 7. Then multiply that product by your .5 (1/2) That way, for every square foot, you are giving it the 1/2 a fluid ounce of cleaning solution! If you want to, you could just think of it as finding the volume. (L x W x H.) Good luck!
