Question

A musician begins performing concerts. His first concert had 500 people attending. The musician says that if attendance grows by 5% every concert, there will be 650 people at his third concert. Explain why the musician's prediction is incorrect.

Answer 1

Answer:551.25

Explanation:

500 x .05 =25+500= 525 which is the second concert. Multiply that by .05 which is 26.25, add that to 525 to get 551.25 which is not 650.
