ConceptApplication of Formula for Compound Interest

#### Question

On the construction work of a flyover bridge there were 320 workers initially. The number of workers were increased by 25% every year. Find the number of workers after 2 years.

#### Solution

Here, P = Number of workers initially = 320
A = Number of workers after 2 years
R = Rate of increase of number of workers per year = 25 %
N = 2 years

A = P (1 + "R"/100)^"N"

= 320 (1 + 25/100)^2

= 320 (1 + 1/4)^2

= 320 (5/4) ^2

= 500

Hence, the number of workers after 2 years is 500.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
