A certain population grows by 25% per decade. What is its percentage growth each year? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
25/10 will be 2.5%
That answer is incorrect, I tried that. =/
Really? Sorry about that. I will try again.
THIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER:
1.25^(1 / 10) =1.02256518 - 1 x 100 =2.26% - percentage growth per year.
Thanks so much! Also how did you know to multiply by 100? I see that you suibtracted 1. Is that the decay formula a=1-r?
25% each decade which is 1/4
Is it (1.25)^1/10???
it isn't 1.25^1/10 either.
Hm....
I think it is 1/4 divided by 10 which is 0.025, which rounds to 0.03.
Actually i dont think that would be correct. Now that I am looking at how you answered.
Are you sure?????
