Mrs.lincoln's newborn baby boy is growing quickly!! His weight is increasing by 6% every week.If he weights 8 pounds this week what will he weight next week,and what will he weight in 2 weeks

Respuesta :

Given that, the weight is increasing at 6% every week.

Let x be the number of weeks.

Then,m the equation will be,

[tex]y=8+0.06x[/tex]

Put 1 for x to calculate the weight in the next week.

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=8+(0.06\times1) \\ y=8.06 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Put 2 for x to calculate the weight in 2 weeks.

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=8+(0.06\times2) \\ y=8.12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the answer will be 8.12 kilos.
