A new car is driven 878 miles in year 1. It is driven 1150 miles in year 2. In each of year 3, 4, and 5 the car is driven 4% more miles than in the previous year. How many total miles the car will be driven at end of year 5?
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- Y1 = 878
y2= 1150
Y3 = y2+4% of y2
1150+1150*4/100
= 1196
same way
Y4 = 1243.84
Y5 = 1293.59
Total Miles = 5761.4 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(1)
- 878 - 1st year
1150 - 2nd year
1150+46(4%1150)=1196 -3rd year
1196+48 approx(4%1196)=1244 -4th year
1244+50 approx(4%1244)=1296 -5th year
the answer is 5762 miles - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- =878+1150+1150*1.04+1150*1.04^2+1150*1.04^3 = 5761.4336

- X1 = 878
X2= 1150
X3 = X2+4% of X2
1150+1150*4/100
= 1196
same way AS
X4 = 1243.84
X5 = 1293.59
Total Miles Driven= 5761.4 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- let 100 miles so 4% at each year for 3 years:
100 + 4% of 100 = 104
104 + 4%of 104 = 108.16
108.16 + 4% of 108.16 = 112.4864
for 100 miles ------------------------------ 112.4864
for 1 mile--------------------------------------- 112.4864 / 100
for 1150 miles---------------------------------- 112.4864*1150 / 100
= 1293.6 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Y2+Y3+Y4+Y5= 1150(1.04^4-1)/(1.04-1)
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
