a new shopping mall is gaining in popularity. every day since it opened, the number of shoppers is 5% more than the number of shoppers the day before. about how many total shoppers would be expected after 10 days, if there were 100 shoppers on the first day?



Answer :

After 10 days, the expected number of shoppers at the shopping mall is 163.

It is given that the number of shoppers increases daily by 5% from the number of shoppers the previous day.

As we can see that the increase in the number of shoppers is going to change every day, and the above case is compounded daily.

The formula of compound increase is

Amount = Base X (1 + r/n)ⁿˣ

where,

Base = original amount

r = rate of change

n = no. of times the change occurs in the time period

t = time

Here,

Base = 100

r = 5/100

n = 1, since it changes once every day

x = 10

Therefore we get

100 X (1 + 5/100)¹⁰

= 100 X 1.05¹⁰

162.88

Since the number of people cannot be in decimal,

the expected number of people is 163
