<span>So
the given numbers are:
=> One year, the price of wheat is 8.87 dollars
=> the next year, the price of wheat is 9.60 dollars.
We were asked to round each prices of bushels of wheat to its nearest tenths.
=> 8.87, where 8 before the decimal point is ones, 8 next to decimal point
is tenths and 7 is the hundredths.
=>round off to the nearest tenths
=> 8.9
=> next is 9.60, where 9 is the ones value, 6 is the tenths value and 0 is
the hundredths.
=> round off to nearest tenths
=> 9.6

He made an error is step 2
3x + 18 = 2x +8
subtract 2x from each side
x + 18 = 8
Since the number of bird decreases 3% per year then for year 1 there will be 29 100 birds left. This value is 97% of 30000. From this the number of birds for year 1 is N = 30000(1-0.03)
A. N = 30,000

B. To solve this we use the equation we established in letter A. We get the answer by substituting T with 20. N = 16,000. <span />
