Would it be A? @pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope so! I'm only on q14 of q25 and want to get a B on this test.

pooja195 (pooja195):

oh its a test

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\(\Large 100e^{15\times 0.08}\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

test questions arent allowed

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

how did u get 326?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\(\Large 100e^{15\times 0.08}\) gives something else :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh @pooja195 Sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I typed in 100e x ^(0.08 x 15) and thats how i got my answer of 326

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

maybe it calculated 100e first please calculate e^(15*0.08) then multiply the result by 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh!! Ok I see how that works. I got 332.01 thanks for the help

OpenStudy (kidrah69):
