As per the statement: Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the tank. Once the new tank is in, it will cost her $72.96
Let the tank size now be x
Since, the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons = x + 10
by definition of proportion ;

by cross multiply we get;

using distributive property;

Subtract 42.56x from both sides we get;

Divide both sides by 30.4 we get;
x = 14
Therefore, the tank is her now is, 14 gallons
First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.
Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.
So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.
We construct the following equation where
is the final population,

Hope this helps. :)
