Question

Mary puts 200 fish into a pond. If the fish are guaranteed to increase at an annual rate of 14%, how many fish will be in the pond in 5 years?

Answer 1

340 in 5 years

Explanation:

I set it up as a fraction so I could find 14% of 200.

14/100 = x/200

Then I cross multiplied

100x = 2800

Simplify

x=28

Twenty-eight is 14% of 200. Multiply 28 by 5.

28 x 5 = 140

Add 140 to 200

340

Answer 2

340

Step-by-step explanation: 200 * .14 = 28 then 28*5= 140 then 140+200=340
