Luis Gutierrez · Answer 1

214 trucks

Step-by-step explanation:

Un = amount after a certain time period

Uo = initial amount

n = number of time periods

i = interest rate

Equation used : Un = Uo (1+i) ^n

Un=100 (1.1) ^8 = 214.36, but you can't have half a truck so round and the answer would simply be 214.
