Correct me ! my answer [61,028] what I did >36500 *12 *5.6% =24,528 + 36,500 =(61,028) The yearly attendance at a local restaurant is 36,500 and grows continuously at a rate of 5.6% each year. What is the approximate attendance at the restaurant in 12 years? 38,597 61,028 70,188 71,472

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you have used simple interest formula !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to use continuous growth formula A = Pe^(rt)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

its 36500 * ( 1.056)^12

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

**continuously

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

hmm - the question is a bit ambiguous because it says continuously and also 5.6 percent per year.....

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

if it is compounded each year by 5.6 percent than the answer is 70,188

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hmm agree ppl coming to restaurant are not virus or something to grow continuously lol

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

intellectual exercise, you guys…

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

if continuous the answer is 71,472

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
