The above table can be used to find the correction factor, to convert the AADT obtained from the past traffic survey to the AADT at the opening of a project. However, the factor obtained from the table is not necessarily exact.

If the time between the determination of AADT and the opening of a road is $7\mathrm{.}8$ years and the annual traffic growth rate is $\backslash (8\mathrm{.}5\backslash \%\backslash ),$ using the appropriate equation $($not table$),$ calculate the exact correction factor $($no rounding, $2$ decimals$).$
