Answer:
a) 
b) The population estimated in 2008 is of 24651.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population growth model may be given by the following exponential function:

In which P(t) is the population after t years,
is the initial population and r is the growth rate.
(A.) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t=0 for 2000)
We have that:
. So


(B.) Use the function from part A to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.
2008 is 8 years after 2000. So:

The population estimated in 2008 is of 24651.
Answer: 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sam buys 14 water bottles, he will have spent 18.9, so when you subtract 20 (the limit) from 18.9 (how much money he'll spend on the water bottles) you get 1.1
Answer: the store paid $18.3 for the sweater
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that the store paid for the sweater.
A store marks up the price of a sweater by $7.35. This means that the new or current price of the sweater at the store would be
7.35 + x
The total cost of the sweater is 25.65. Therefore, an equation to represent the problem would be
7.35 + x = 25.65
Subtracting 7.35 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
7.35 + x - 7.35 = 25.65 - 7.35
x = $18.3
