Answer 1

Answer:

1979

91%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation :

P = (318t + 6792) / (1.19t + 107.36)

P = % of household with PC

t = years since 2000

1.) We need to find t, when P = 85%

P = 0.85

0.85 = (318t + 6792) / (1.19t + 107.36)

0.85(1.19t + 107.36) = (318t + 6792)

1.0115t + 91.256 = 318t + 6792

Collect like terms :

1.0115t - 318t = 6792 - 91.256

−316.9885t = 6700.744

t = 6700.744 / - 316.9885

t = - 21.138760

t = - 21 years

2000 - 21 years = 1979

Percentage who had computer in 2014

t = 2014 - 2000 = 14

P = (318(14) + 6792) / (1.19(14)+ 107.36)

P = (4452 + 6792) / (16.66 + 107.36)

P = 11244 / 124.02

P = 90.6627

P = approximately 91%
