Answer: 1447
Explanation:
Exponential growth equation:
[tex]y=A(1+r)^x[/tex] , where A = initial value , r= rate of growth( in decimal) , x=time
As per given , A= 1260, x= 7 years , r=2%= 0.02 [
So,
[tex]y=1260(1+0.02)^7\\\\=1260(1.02)^7\\\\=1260\times1.14868566765\approx1447[/tex]
Hence, current number of rooms occupied = 1447
