Question

In 2011 Tufts University had 17,000 applicants. Each year the number of applicants increased 11% from the previous year.

How many applicants would you expect Tufts University to have in 2013? Round to the nearest whole

Answer 1

Answer: 20,740

Explanation: it’s up by 2 years each being 11% so just multiply that by 2 and just do
17,000 x 22% which is 17,000 x 0.22 = 3,740
So 17,000 + 3,740 = 20,740
