Question

The population of Salisa is 12,500 and increases by 300 each month. The population of Corsair is 13,200 and increases by 200 each month. How many months will it take until the population of the two cities is the same?

Answer 1

It will take seven months for the population of each city to be the same.

On month seven, Salisa's population will be 14,600. (300x7=2,100+12,500=14600)

On month seven, Corsair's population will be 14,600 as well. (200x7=1,400+13,200=14600)
