Question

World consumption of a certain metal is running at the rate of 338e0.02t

 thousand metric tons per year, where t is measured in years and t = 0

 corresponds to 2014.

Formula  is C(t)=16900e^0.02t - 16900 

When will the know world resources of 4300 thousand metric tons of the metal be exhausted? (Round your answer up to the next year)

______________________

I divided e^0.02=21200/16900 = 11.33437798 and then I took 11 years and added 2014 + 11 years and got 2025, but I got the answer incorrect. CAn you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
