Emmanuel Garrett · Answer 1

Answer:1. B. 4968

2. A. $6.25x+$7.50 = $26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For no. 1:

Get the population for the second year first,

115/100*4500 = 5175

Get the population of the third year

96/100*5175=4968

For no. 2:

The total is gotten by adding the admission fee to the total cost for all the games, and (x) is the number of games, therefore:

$6.25x+$7.50=$26.25
