The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800. By what percent did the number of calories increase?

The number of calories increased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800.

Previous number of calories he used to burn = 1,500

Increase in calories = 1800-1500=300

Now , the percent increase in calories =

Hence , the number of calories increased by 20%.

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.
