A manufacturer estimates that she can sell a maximum of 110 thousand cell phones in a city. By advertising heavily, her total sales grow at a rate proportional to the distance below this upper limit. If she enters a new market, and after 3 months her total sales are 51 thousand phones, find a formula for the total sales (in thousands) t months after entering the market, and use this to estimate the total sales at the end of the first year. Total sales at end of the first year: Give your answer to at least 1 decimal place thousand phones

If she enters a new market, and after 3 months her total sales are 51 thousand phones, find a formula for
the total sales (in thousands) t months after entering the market, and use this to estimate the total sales
at the end of the first year.
Total sales at end of the first year:
