number â(round to the nearestâ

19.6 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth function is given by :-

, where A is the initial amount , r is rate of interest and x is time period.

Given : The automobile sales in a country this year : A= 20.6 million

The rate of increase : r = 4.9 %=0.049

For last year , we take x = 1 , then the required exponential equation will be :-

Hence, the  number of auto sales in the country last year = 19.6 million.
