Question

The population of a town has been growing, following the equation P = 300t + 6000, where t is

years after 2010. The number of restaurants in the town has been growing according to the
equation R = 5t + 45.

Answer 1

• 0.01 restaurants per person
• 107.14 in persons per restaurant

Explanation:

P = 300 (2015-2010) + 6,000

P = 300(5) + 7,000 = 7 ,5 0 0

The number of restaurants prediction for 2015 is:

R = 5(2015-2010) + 45

R = 5(5) + 45 = 70

So per person, there would be:

70 Restaurants for 7,500 People that is: 70/7500

or 0.00933333333 which is 0.01 in nearest unit restaurants per person ←

per restaurant, there would be: 7500/70

or 107.14 in persons per restaurant
