a) If it takes 125 chinchillas to make a coat and he needs to make 10 coats, how many chinchillas must Barton have by the end of two years?




b) If Barton and Kirby started with 500 chinchillas and had 933 at the end of 12 months, what is the particular equation for the growth of the chinchilla population?




c) At this rate, how many chinchillas would they have at the end of two years?



Answer :

a) 125 * 10 = 1250 chinchillas in a year;
1250 * 2 = 2500 chinchillas in two years;

b) y = x + 433, where 433 = 933 - 500;

c) 933 + 433 = 1366 chinchillas they have at the end of two years;
