Question

The caretaker of a local fish pond won't open to the public until the fish count passes 1,000. The initial fish population was estimated at 60 fish. Regular checks showed the population was doubling each week. How many weeks will it take for the pond to open to the public?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 weeks 2 days

Step-by-step explanation:  

        y=m(x)+b                                                           X= weeks

        1,000 = 60x+60                                                Y=1,000 fish

            -60           -60

          940 = 60x

           /60    /60

           15.666=x
