This is a growth exponential equation.
It can be solved 2 ways, but one of them is long and cumbersome and not worth the effort. You could take 2% of the base number and keep doing it 8 times.
The other way is to realize that 100$ + 2% of 100 dollars can be written as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02 and that can be written as
100( 1 + 0.02 ) = 100(1.02) Now if you want this to be raised 8 times, it will look like this
y = 100(1.02)^(n - 1) for any number of weeks
y(8) = 100(1.02)^7 = 114.87
So at week 1 she has 100 dollars and at week 8 she has 114.87 dollars.

Realize that if her boss does not want to give her compounded interest that she could still make
Ln = L
= 100 + (n - 1)*0.02*100
L
= 100 + 7*0.02*100 = 100 + 14. = 114
By compounding she makes a whole 0.87$ more.

Answer:
Explanation:
Highlight the first digit on the very left (2). The 7 right next to it means we'll round that 2 up to a 3. Every other digit becomes a zero.
The number 27,895,168,401,112 rounds to 30,000,000,000,000 which is the number 30 trillion.
It converts to the scientific notation because we basically start with 3.0 and move the decimal point 13 spots to the right to arrive at 30 trillion as shown above.
