Question

25. The table shows the number of students that are enrolled in a geometry class at Eastlake High School. Year Students 1995 135 1996 170 1997 205 1998 240 How many students would you expect to be enrolled in 2009 if the pattern continues?​

Answer 1

625

Explanation:

Let's take 1998, our closest year. We know that 2009 is 11 years away from 1998, meaning we will multiply 35 by 11, and then add it to the student count from 1998.

35 * 11 = 385

Then we take the two numbers and add them together:

240 + 385 = 625

If the pattern continues, there will be 625 students.
