In the month of january, a certain restaurant claimed it sold 9,000 burgers and expects sales to grow at a rate of 4.8% per month over the next year. which formula will determine the number of burgers the restaurant expects to sell this year?

,

where a is the original amount, r is the growth rate and x is the amount of time.

In this problem, the original amount, a, is 9000.

The rate of growth is 4.8%; 4.8% = 4.8/1000 = 0.048

This gives us
