Question

1) In Blind Lake, the fish population is estimated to be 6,000 this

year. At the beginning of each year, the lake is stocked with 1,000
fish. By the end of the year, 800 more fish have died or been
caught. What will the estimated fish population be in 4 years?

Answer 1

6000 + 1000 = 7000 - 800 = 6200 after 1 year

6200 + 1000 = 7200 - 800 = 6400 after 2 years

6400 + 1000 = 7400 - 800 = 6600 after 3 years

6600 + 1000 = 7600 - 800 = 6800 after 4 years
