Dina is conducting a study on the amount of electricity
used per person in the country of Qatar. She finds that
from the year 2000 to 2008, the amount of electricity
used per person grew by an average of 6% from one year
to the next. Let 𝐸(𝑡) be the amount of electricity used per
person in kilowatt-hours and 𝑡 be the number of years
after 2000. If the amount of electricity used per person in
2000 was approximately 12,300 kilowatt-hours, which of
the following mathematical models will give Dina how
much electricity was used per person between 2000 and
2008 ?
A. 𝐸(𝑡) = 12,300(6)𝑡
B. 𝐸(𝑡) = 12,300(1.06)𝑡
C. 𝐸(𝑡) = 12,300(0.94)𝑡
D. 𝐸(𝑡) = 12,300(0.06)𝑡
