Question

4. The town of Euclid started a voluntary recycling program. The first year it was utilized by 1500 residents.

Answer 1

Answer:

170,070 residents

Step-by-step explanation:

Original population = 1500 residents

Total population after 6 years is calculated using the formula

A = P(1+r)^t

r is the rate = 120% = 1.2

t is the time = 6 years

P is the original population

A = 1500(1+1.2)^6

A = 1500(2.2)^6

A = 1500(113.379904)

A = 170,069.856
