P = 215(1.005)t/3 The equation above can be used to model the population, in thousands, of a certain city t years after 2000. according to the model, the population is predicted to increase by 0.5% every n months. what is the value of n ?

(A) 3 (B) 4 (C) 12 (D) 36

B

I’m not 100 percent sure but i did the math and this was the closest

(D) 36

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5%  = 0.5/100  =  0.005

It is given that the population (215) is predicted to increase by 0.5%. To know the value after increment, 215 has to be multiplied by (1 + 0.005) or 1.005.

In the equation P  =  215(1.005)t/3, the value of t/3 has to be equal to 1 for 0.5% increase.

t/3  =  1

t  =  3 years

Convert years to months.

n  =  3 ⋅ 12 months

n  =  36 months

The correct option is D.

Thanks!

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
