number of patients in 2003.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given That,

no. of patients admitted = 4,375

which increased by the percentage of 8%

in the time period of 2 years

Let's assume that the number of patients in 2003 is X

we know that,

$A = p(1 - \frac{ R}{100} )^{t} \\ \\ putting \: values \: in \: equation \\ \\ = 4375(1 - \frac{8}{100} )^{2} \\ = 4375 \times \frac{23}{25} \times \frac{23}{25} = 3703</p><p></p><p>$
