You first must find the 18% of the fish population.
You multiply 500 by .18 . You are supposed to get 90.
90 is the 18% fish increase.
Then you just add 500 + 90 and you will get 590 fish that are now in the school.
A) The membership cost starts at $23 and it adds $6 every year. The 23 would be your b and the 6 would be your slope, m, in the form y=mx+b.
y=6x+23
This equation means that you're starting at 23 dollars and adding 6 dollars with every x you add.
B) 2009-1995=14 This means that there's 14 years that the cost increased. 14*6=$84 The membership cost increased by anther $84 over the 14 years. You have to add 84 to 23 to find your total=$107.
C) Set $85 equal to 6x+23
85=6x+23
6x=62
x≈10
10 years later the cost will be $85.
1995+10=2005
The slope of points (-2,6) and (3,10) is m= 0.8
She had 8 but he ate 5 so: 8 minus 5: 8-5.
Subtract: 8-5=3
She has 3 cookies left ((and zero friends XD )) :)
