Answer:
Part A: We know that 3 bushels is $24, and that rate remains constant, as the graph has a straight line.
Divide both sides by 3 to get 1 bushel=$8.
We can also double check with the other values: 48/6=$8 per bushel, 72/9=$8 per bushel, and so on.
The rate of change is the slope of a line (how much one value changes when the other value does). In this equation, the equation of the line is y=8x, so the slope is 8. Therefore, the rate of change is 8.
Part B: In the previous year, each bushel of corn was 21/3, 42/6, etc., or $7 a bushel. This year, it is $8, so $8-$7=$1

Answer:
337.406388 or 337 people
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure this out, use the compound interest (compounding number?) equation which is Amount = People(1 + rate)^time
So if you fill that out you get
A = 20,000(.96)^100
A = 20,000(0.0168703194)
A = 337.406388
You will need to use the compound growth formula - this is...
final number = starting number * (multiplier ^ number of years)
We can turn the 6% into a multiplier by dividing it by 100 and adding 1 on to it:
6/100 = 0.06
0.06+1 = 1.06
Then we can say that the starting number is 254 and the number of years is X, we can then place this all into the original formula:
Final population = 254 * (1.06 ^ X)
Hope this helps! :)
