Log(2)/log(1.064) ≈ 11.17 . . . . hours

_____
The population can be given by
  p(n) = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . where n is the number of hours
You want to find n whe p(n) = 2*p₀.
  2p₀ = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . substitute the given information
  2 = 1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by p₀
  log(2) = n×log(1.064) . . . . . . . . take logs to make it a linear equation
  log(2)/log(1.064) = n . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

1.50s + 0.75f = 116.25
2f = s

1.50(2f) + 0.75f = 116.25
3f + 0.75f = 116.25
3.75f = 116.25
f = 116.25/3.75
f = 31...31 friday papers

2f = s
2(31) = s
62 = s <=== 62 sunday papers

The interior angle sum of a convex polygon is 330, how many sides does the polygon have?
MissTica

let the number of sides be n.

Thus,

(n-2)x180=330

n-2=1.83

n=3.83

Rounding off we have, n=4.

Thus the total number of side is 4.
