Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Population</em><em> </em><em>Of</em><em> </em><em>People</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>Percentage</em><em>ncrease</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>New</em><em> </em><em>Population </em><em>corresponds </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>(</em><em>That</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>want</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>popula</em><em>tion</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>corresponds</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>100%</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>is </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>original</em><em> </em><em>population</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>Original </em><em>Population</em><em>;</em>

<em>\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}</em>

<em>100 \: people</em>

After 8 weeks on a fitness program, mrs.Honaker can job 30 miles. Her average mileage gain has been 2 miles per week. Write an e
blondinia [14]

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation in slope intercept form:

y = mx + c

From the scenario above ;

y = total miles = 30

Average mile gain per week = slope (m) = 2

Number of weeks (x) = 8

We can obtain intercept, c :

30 = 2(8) + c

30 = 16 + c

30 - 16 = c

14 = c

Hence,

Equation goes thus ;

y = 2x + 14
