Answer:

313,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent number of years after Beth's 9th birthday.

We have been given that since Beth was born the population of her towns has increased at a rate of 850 people per year. So number of people increased in t years would be 850t.

We are also told that on Beth's 9th birthday the total population was nearly 307,650. This means that t-intercept is 307,650.

The population of town t years after Beth's birthday would be P(t)=850t+307,650.

To find population on Beth's 16th birthday, we will substitute t=7 in our equation as Beth's 16th birthday would be 7 years after 9th birthday.

P(t)=850(7)+307,650

P(7)=5950+307,650

P(7)=313,600

Therefore, the population on Beth's 16th birthday would be 313,600.

What percent of 33 is 96
Nataly_w [17]
<span>96/x=100/33
(96/x)*x=(100/33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
96=3.0303030303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0303030303) to get x
96/3.0303030303=x 
31.68=x 
x=31.68

now we have: 
33% of 96=31.68
