30 kilograms of mangoes are harvested in a day. The number of harvested mangoes increases by 5% every day. How many kilograms of mangoes are harvested in five days?
( I am desperate and I've been working on this for hours im dumb T _ T )
DO THE ADDITION PLS
Think of it as a compound interest just daily with 5% initial deposit 30 Mangoes for 5 days.
DAY 1 NO INCREASE 30 MANGOES
DAY 2 1.50 MANGOES 31.50 MANGOES
DAY 3 1.58 MANGOES 33.08 MANGOES
DAY 4 1.65 MANGOES 34.73 MANGOES
DAY 5 1.74 MANGOES 36.47 MANGOES

Edit:- 165.78
thats the number of mangoes harvested each day, to get the total for 5 days you have to add it up. or at least i think thats what the question is asking. if it asked for the amount of mangoes harvested ON the 5th day it would be 36, but it says kilos IN 5 days
30 + 31 + 33 + 34 + 36 = 164 kilograms of mangoes total
30(1.05)^i is the number of mangoes harvested in a day where i is the day number (i = 0 is the first day, when its 30kg mangoes)
To get the number of mangoes harvested across 5 days, you just add up the amount harvested on each day.
30(1.05)^0 + 30(1.05)^1 + 30(1.05)^2 + 30(1.05)^3 + 30(1.05)^4 = 165.77
This is the same as above, but using sigma notation
