The number of mosquitoes at the beach has increased by 50% every year since 2012. In 2012, there were 2,500 mosquitoes. How many mosquitos were there in 2018?

Step-by-step explanation:

2012 = 2500

2500 x .50 = 1250

2500 + 1250

2013 = 3750

3750 x .50 =

3750 + 1875

2014 = 5625

5625 x .50 = 2812.5

5625 + 2812.5

2015= 8437.5

8437.5 x .50 = 4218.75

8437.5 + 4218.75

2016= 12656.25

12656.25 x .50 = 6328.125

12656.25 + 6328.125

2017= 18984.375

18984.375 x .50 = 9492.1875

18984.375 + 9492.1875

2018= 28,476.5625‬

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
