Answer:
20
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given the function 
If n is the number of hours, then initially n=0 and

If S(n) is the function of exponential growth, then it can be represented as

where I is the initial amount, r -is the percent growth rate and n is the number of hours.
If b = 1.85, we can represent it as b = 1 + 0.85. Thus, the hourly percent growth rate of the bacteria would be 0.85=85%.
Total points is 23
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Total number of baskets = 18
Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x
Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y
According to the question:
-1
The equation can be formed as:

On solving this equation further we get:

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2
= 8
Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3
= 15
Total points = 8 + 15
= 23
Therefore, total points is 23
There are different definitions of "whole numbers".
Some define it as an integer (i.e. positive or negative) [some dictionaries]
Some define it as a non-negative integer. [most math definitions]
We will take the math definition, i.e. 0<= whole number < ∞
To find pairs (i.e. two) whole numbers with a sum of 110, we start with
0+110=110
1+109=110
2+108=110
...
54+56=110
55+55=110
Since the next one, 56+54=110 is the same pair (54,56) as 54+56=110, we stop at 55+55=110 for a total of 56 pairs.
