On the first day it was posted online, a music video got 1500 views. The number of views that the video got each day increased by 18% per day. How many total views did the video get over the course of the first 27 days, to the nearest whole number?

the total number of views that the video got over the course of the first 27 days is 718833

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of views that the video got each day increased by 18% per day. It means that the number of views is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms(days), Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of terms(days) in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = 1500

r = 1 + 18/100 = 1.18

n = 27 days

Therefore, the sum of the first 27 terms, S27 is

S27 = (1500 × 1.18^(27) - 1)/1.18 - 1

S27 = (1500 × 86.26)/0.18

S27 = 718833

answer: 180

step-by-step explanation:

12-2=10

20-2=18

10x18=180
