We are given the following logistic growth function P(x)


P(x)=(90)/(1+271e^(-0.122x))

The function P(x) models the percentage of Americans who have coronary heart disease.

Here x is the age.

Let us find the percentage of 55-years old who have some coronary heart disease.

Substitute x = 55 into the function


\begin{gathered} P(55)=\frac{90}{1+271e^{-0.122(55)_{}_{}}} \\ P(55)=\frac{90}{1+271e^{-6.71_{}}} \\ P(55)=(90)/(1+0.33) \\ P(55)=67.7\% \end{gathered}

Therefore, the percentage of 55-years old with some coronary heart disease is 67.7% (rounded to one decimal)
