The number of mosquitoes at the beach has increased by 50% every year since 2012. In 2012, there were 2,500 mosquitoes. How many
mosquitos were there in 2018?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2012 = 2500
2500 x .50 = 1250
2500 + 1250
2013 = 3750
3750 x .50 =
3750 + 1875
2014 = 5625
5625 x .50 = 2812.5
5625 + 2812.5
2015= 8437.5
8437.5 x .50 = 4218.75
8437.5 + 4218.75
2016= 12656.25
12656.25 x .50 = 6328.125
12656.25 + 6328.125
2017= 18984.375
18984.375 x .50 = 9492.1875
18984.375 + 9492.1875
2018= 28,476.5625
