A plant is 30cm tall when planted in a garden it increases by 10 percent each week how long will it take to reach 1 meter

Sagot :

Answer:

12.63 weeks ~~ 13 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

This is much like a banking question with compounded interest

FV = PV ( 1 + i)^n       FV = Future value = 1 m   PV = present value = .3

                                     i = periodic interest = .10     n = periods

1 = .3(1 + .1)^n      solve for n = the number of weeks

1/.3   = 1.1^n

log (1/.3) / log 1.1  = n = 12.63 weeks

Prob around 12 weeks. Just times it by 1.01 and keep repeating it
