Answer 18

Sorry, I refrain from commenting on this one because this question is very vague, and subject to many different interpretations.
1. "200% more than"
If 2003 is considered 100%, then 2005 has 100+200=300% of 2003? or as @Thomas123 suggested, it's only 200%?
2. According to normal mathematical interpretation, 200% more than... will not mean the 2003 percents, but the value two years ago. That makes it an exponential function.
If it meant 2003 percentage, then it would have said so. (therefore a linear function).

Answer 19

oh wow your right i have no clue how to do this

Answer 20

in what year was the number of daily visitors 800% more than the # of visitors in 2003

Answer 21

200% every 2 years

Answer 22

^

Answer 23

so therefore 100% each year

Answer 24

yes but 100% each year is basically doubling the amount of people

Answer 25

well if you put it like that yes

Answer 26

so 800% would be times 16

Answer 27

not really

Answer 28

200% each 2 years

Answer 29

200% is tripling

Answer 30

so 2003 - 2005 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011

Answer 31

are you in school?

Answer 32

@ganeshie8

Answer 33

right now? no summer vacation

Answer 34

hmmm im most positive on 2011 is when it was 800%

Answer 35

ok lets say there were 10 people in 2003

Answer 36

then there would be another 20 people in 2005 so 10+20=30 so 30 people in 2005

Answer 37

it never said an amount of people so how can one assume 100% each year changes the number
@paki

Answer 38

i have no clue

Answer 39

is there multiple choice?

Answer 40

nope

Answer 41

hmmm what happens if you guess wrong

Answer 42

um well i get it wrong

Answer 43

:I why not just guess 2011

Answer 44

Hi

Answer 45

hi do you have any ideas about this

Answer 46

I think it should just take 4 years to become 800℅

Answer 47

well i thought that to

Answer 48

why?

Answer 49

just i thought 100% each year

Answer 50

Let's start by writing an expression for the growth

Answer 51

but then 200% each 2 years so 2003 - 2005 2005 - 2007 2007-2009 2009 - 2011
200 400 600 800

Answer 52

\[A(1+2)^{t/2}\]

Answer 53

what does a and t stand for

Answer 54

In above expression
The starting amount is A
Growth rate is 200%
Time in years is t

Answer 55

If you plugin t=2,
you get 3A

Answer 56

ok

Answer 57

yup

Answer 58

Would you agree that 3A is exactly 200℅ more than A ?

Answer 59

oh yup
