To do this, we first want to see how many participants there are in total by adding both males and females.

$99+121=220$

Now we know that there were 220 total participants, but only 121 were females.

This allows us to set up the fraction 121/220= the percent female.

$\frac{121}{220} =0.55$

or 55%

What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
We have then
y = a (b) ^ x
Where we have:
Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
a = 5
Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
b = 2
The function is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
Check:
y = 5 (2) ^ 8
y = 1280
Answer:
An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
y = 5 (2) ^ x
The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
8 weeks
