The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
46.6 days
Explanation:
The general form for exponential growth is
, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).
We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time. We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:
We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:
Divide both sides by p:
Using logarithms to solve this,
Answer:
For the yes/no bit:
step 1: no
step 2: no
step 3: yes
step 4: yes
step 5: no
for the final answer bit: a = 2 3/5 (the last option)
Step-by-step explanation:
yes/no bit:
step 1 is wrong because she didn't multiply by -2
step 2 is wrong because she subtracted 1/2 instead of adding it
step 3 is correct because 6 - 1/2 = 11/2
step 4 is correct because she correctly multiplied both sides by 4
step 5 is wrong because she added 5 instead of dividing by -5.
for the final answer bit, I've attached an image below with my working out. hope this helps!
