Answer 2

Problem: How many months will membership reach 300 members?
Given: 140 members (current month)
6% monthly increase of members
300 targeted members
Method: Multiplication and Division
Solution: To get the number of increased members per month
140 x .06 = 8.4 changed to 9 (because the numbers are persons)

To get the number of months divide 300(target members) with the
number of increased members per month.

300 / 9 = 33.333 months Make 33 as 34 because of the points since we are looking for the number of months to reach 300 members.

Answer: 34 months
