We can use simple interest formula to solve the formula

SI = (p*r*t)/100

Given,

p = 18000

r = 2%

t = 11years

Increase in population = (18000*2*11)/100 = 3,960

Population after 11 years = 18000 + 3960= 21960

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 18,000 people

growth 2% per year

time=11 years

18,000*2/100=360 growth per year

360*11=3,960.00

18,000+3,960=14,960

22,828

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the exponential growth formula, which is:

A = P(1+r)^t

A = total amount

P = original amount

r = growth rate (decimal)

t = years

Before we plug in the values, don't forget to change 2% to its decimal form.

2% -> \frac{2}{100} -> 0.02

Lets plug in the values:

A=18,000(1+0.02)^{12}

A=22,828

The population after 12 years will be 22,828.

18000 is the 100% and we will be adding 2% to the population every 1 year.

100% + 2% = 102%

Convert the percent into a decimal.

102% = 1.02

For 12 years, the population will increase by 2%.

So, 18000 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 * 1.02 or 18000 * 1.02^12

18000 * 1.02^12
18000 * 1.26
22680

So, it will be around 22680.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential equation of the form

y=ar^x\\ \\ \text{Where y=final value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, x=term number}\\ \\ y=18000(1.02)^x\\ \\ y(11)=18000(1.02)^{11}\\ \\ y\approx 22381

For 1 flavor there are 9 topping

Therefore, for 5 different flavors there will be 5*9 choices

No of choices= 5*9
