Answer: Population in 200 = 281 million.

Population in 2010 = 308 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the population in 2000 ( in millions).

Given : According to the report “Population Distribution and Change: 2000 to 2010” from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. population increased by 27.3 million people from 2000 to 2010.

This was a 9.7% increase.

∵ 9.7%=0.097

then, we have 0.097x=27.3

Divide both sides , by 0.097, we get

x=281.443298969\approx281 [Rounded to nearest million]

Hence, the population in 200 = 281 million.

Then, the population in 2010=281+27.3=308.3\approx308 million  [Rounded to nearest million]

Paul [167]

The number of salads Ishaan and his friends can afford is 6 salads.

<h3>What are Word Problems?</h3>

Word Problems in mathematics involve crucial understanding and the use of variables and arithmetic operations to solve real-life cases.

From the given information;

  • The total amount with Ishaan and his friends = $40
  • If they decided to spend the money on salad(x) and one salad(x) cost = $6

Thus, the number of salads they can purchase is:

\mathbf{x = \dfrac{\$40}{\$6}}

x = 6 salads remaining $4

Therefore, we can conclude that the number of salads they can purchase with $40 is 6 salads with a remaining amount of $4.
