Let P(t) represent the number of students in a school who buy their lunch after t weeks. Suppose P is increasing at a rate proportional to 600-P where the constant of proportionality is k. Suppose 300 students buy their lunch initially and 400 buy their lunches after 10 weeks.

a.) Write and solve a differential equation that describes this situation.
