America is getting older. The graph shows the projected elderly U.S. population for ages 65–84 and for ages 85 and older. The formula models the projected number of elderly Americans ages 65–84, E, in millions, xyears after 2010.
a. Use the formula to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65–84, in millions, from 2020 to 2050. Express this difference in simplified radical form.
b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the nearest tenth. Does this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph on the previous page? By how much?

The student council made more snow cones per hour than the parent volunteers.

Explanation:

To find the number of snow cones made per hour:

XXX

Divide the number of snow cones made

XXX

by the number of hours spent making snow cones.

Parent volunteers

XXX

Number of snow cones:  

120

XXX

Number of hours spent making snow cones:  

5

Number of snow cones per hour:  

120

÷

5

=

24

Student council

XXX

Number of snow cones:  

100

XXX

Number of hours spent making snow cones:  

4

Number of snow cones per hour:  

100

÷

4

=

25

Since the student council made  

25

snow cones per hour and the parent volunteers only made  

24

snow cones per hour:

the student council made more snow cones per hour.
