We will have the following:

First, we will have that the population change by:

\Delta P=2134-1431\Rightarrow\Delta P=703

So, the population changed by 703 people.

It took the follwoing number of years to change from 1431 to 2134:

\Delta y=2007-2003\Rightarrow\Delta y=4

So, it took 4 years to changes from 1431 to 2134.

m=\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003}\Rightarrow m=175.75

The average population growth per year is of 175.75 people per year.

The population in 2000 would have been:

P_{2000}=\frac{2000\cdot1431}{2003}\Rightarrow P_{2000}=1428.856715\ldots

\Rightarrow P_{2000}\approx1429

So, the population in 2000 would have been approximately 1429 people.

We will have that the equation for the population would be:

P=(\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003})t+1429\Rightarrow P=\frac{703}{4}t+1429

So, the equation would be:

P=175.75t+1429

Now, we predict the number of people of the town in 2014:

P_{2014}=175.75(14)+1429\Rightarrow P_{2014}=3889.5

\Rightarrow P_{2014}\approx3890

So, there will be approximately 3890 people of the town in 2014.

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 times 5 because there are 5 types in total and they make 4 of each type in each batch they bake. 4*5 is 20.

2. 20 times 10 because they make 10 batches and you know there are 20 in each batch. so 20 times 10 is 200.

200 is the answer.
