Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify the growth - formula
The formula for exponential growth is $A = P(1 + r)^t$, where $P$ is the initial amount, $r$ is the growth rate as a decimal, and $t$ is the time. Here, $P=35100$, $r = 0.27$, and $t = 4$.
## Step2: Substitute the values into the formula
$A=35100\times(1 + 0.27)^4$.
First, calculate $1+0.27 = 1.27$. Then, $(1.27)^4=1.27\times1.27\times1.27\times1.27\approx2.6129$.
## Step3: Calculate the final amount
$A = 35100\times2.6129$.
$A\approx91713$.
