Answer: 84


Step-by-step explanation:

36 Counts as day 0

Day 1 : 36 x 1.08 = 38.88

Day 2 : 38.88 x 1.08 = 41.9904

Day 3 : 41.9904 x 1.08 = 45.349632

Day 4 : 45.349632 x 1.08 = 48.97760256

Day 5 : 48.97760256 x 1.08 = 52.8958107648

Day 6 : 52.8958107648 x 1.08 = 57.127475625984

Day 7 : 57.127475625984 x 1.08 = 61.69767367606272

Day 8 : 61.69767367606272 x 1.08 = 66.6334875701477376

Day 9 : 66.6334875701477376 x 1.08 = 71.964166575759556608

Day 10 : 71.964166575759556608 x 1.08 = 77.72129990182032113664

Day 11: 77.72129990182032113664 x 1.08 = 83.9390038939659468275712

83.9390038939659468275712 rounded to the nearest whole number is 84.

Based on the number of people who were initially sick and the rate of increase, the number who will be sick in 11 days is 84 people.

To find the number who will be sick in 11 days use the future value formula:

= Initial people x ( 1 +rate) ^ number of days

Solving will give:

= 36 x ( 1 + 8%) ¹¹

= 83.9

= 84 people

In conclusion, 84 people will be sick.
