Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Inversely proportional to x" in this situation is represented by a = k/x.

Find k:

Let a = 15 and x = 25, then calculate k:

15 = k/25)

Multiplying both sides by 25 yields k = 15(25), or k = 3/5

and so a = -----------

Kazeer [188]
Firstly, the rate of increase of Canton = 80/7720 = 0.010
The rate of increase of HP = 120/3200 = 0.0375
Apply  the formula of compound interest==> A =A'(1+i)^n
The population will be equal when the following equality is satisfied

7720(1+0.01)^n = 3200(1+0.0375)^n

or

7720x1.01^n = 3200x1.0375^n

Divide both sides by 3200 ===>(193/80)x1.01^n=1.0375^n
