The answer to the quest is 8.09
Answer:
It is right
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b equal the speed of the boat in still water.
Let c equal the speed of the current.
Going downstream, we can write the equation:

which can be rearranged to:
3b + 3c = 120 ............(1)
Going upstream, we can write the equation:

which can be rearranged to:
4b - 4c = 120 .............(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 4, and multiplying equation (2) by 3 we get:
12b + 12c = 480 ........(3)
12b - 12c = 360 .........(4)
Adding equations (3) and (4) results in the following equation:
24b = 840
Well, here is how i would do it.
We start with 225, at a rate of 15% per year. Assuming your answers are in years and not months, we will increase by this increment; years.
So, we start with 225, and a 15%, or .15, increase. So what we would do, it take 225 times .15. One way ive learned to do this (via algebra class) is that you can times it by 1.15 to make it quicker, this just takes out the adding step.
So after one year, we would have a total of 258.75, or about 259 wolves.
after two years, we would have about 298 (we cant have a half of a wolf!)
after 3 years, we would have about 343 wolves.
after 4 years, we would have about 394 ish
after 5 years, we would have about 453
after 6 years, we would have about 521.
So, it would take about 5 and a half years, if thats an option choice.
