From 2003 onward, the number of daily visitors to a website increased by 200% every two years. So, for example, the number of visitors in 2011 was 200% more than the number of visitors in 2009. In what year was the number of daily visitors 800% more than the number of daily visitors in 2003? Explain, in words, why your answer is correct.
Note something, Choff
A 100% increase means that something doubles = (1 + 1) = 2 times as much
A 200% increase means that something triples = (2 + 1) = 3 times as much
So an 800% increase means that sometning is (8+1) = 9 times as much as the original amt
2003 = A = the original number
2005 = 3A = 200% increase over 2003 = 3 times as many
2007 = 3 (3A) = 9A = 800% increase over 2003 = 9 times as many
