Answer:
21,550
Step-by-step explanation:
An increase of 5% means the population is multiplied by 100% +5% = 1.05. This occurs each year for 12 years, so the multiplier is ...
1.05¹² ≈ 1.7958563
When the initial population is multiplied by this factor, it becomes ...
12,000×1.7958563 ≈ 21,550
Once your friend has thought of a number, do the following:
1. Ask him or her to multiply the chosen number by 2.
2.Choose an even number to use yourself. Ask your friend to add this number to the one in his head.
3.Tell him/her to divide the new number by 2.
4.Tell your friend to subtract his original number from the equation.
5."Guess" the number.

For (A.) Get a common denominator, 40/12 - 9/12 = 31/12 or (2 and 7/12)
For (B.) Get a common denominator, 24/15 - 10/15 = 14/15 (Simplified)
For (C.) Get a common denominator, 51/30 - 25/30 = 26/30 or (13/15)
For (D.) Get a common denominator, 14/6 - 9/6 = 5/6 (Simplified)
Hope this helps!
