A town has a population of 5000 and grows at 2% every year . What will be the population after 5 years, to the nearest whole number?

After 5 years the population will be 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 5000 by 2 to get the quotient 2500.

Then multiply 2500 and 2 to get the answer 12500.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.
