This is an exponential growth problem. Let's write the equation for exponential growth.
\(P=P_{0} (1+r)^{n}\)
Where,
- P is the final amount
- \(P_{0}\) is the initial amount
- r is the rate at which increasing
- n is the time
From the problem, we know initial number of views, \(P_{0}\), is 25. Rate of increase, r, is 0.18. Time, n, is 4 weeks. Plugging in these values in the equation and solving for P will give us the number of views expected in four weeks time.
\(P=(25)(1+0.18)^{4}\\=(25)(1.18)^{4}\\=48.47\)
Rounding to nearest whole number, it is 48.
ANSWER: 48
