We begin with the <span> Turner Middle School:
Ratio of students to teachers: </span>\frac{620}{31}
Green Middle School:
Ratio of students to teachers: \frac{950}{38}
Let check that we cannot form a proportion:
\frac{620}{31}=20\text{ and } \frac{950}{38}=25
The two ratios are not equals so we cannot form a proportion. 
Let x be the number of <span>teachers that Green have to hire in order to make the two ratios equal. We get the equation:
</span>\frac{950}{38+x}=\frac{620}{31}\text{ and we solve the equation like this:}\\38+x=\frac{950\times31}{620}=47.5 \text{ and then:}\\x=47.5-38=9.5

<span>The Green school need to hire 9 teachers. 

Part-to-whole ratio:
</span>Turner Middle School:
 \frac{620}{31+620}
Green Middle School:
\frac{950}{38+950}

 Substituting values we have:
 A (4) = 500 * (1 + 0.09 / 1) ^ (1 * (4))
 A (4) = 705.790805
 Rounding we have:
 A (4) = 705.79
 Answer:
 
The answer for this case is given by:
