Fourteen percent of the town's population is over the age of 65. If there are 320 residents over the age of 65, approximately what is the town's population? (round to nearest whole number)

Town's population is 2285 approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

14% of population is over the age of 65 and 14% = 320

If 14% is 320 then 100% would be

100 × 320 ÷ 14 = 2285 approximately

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
