The population of a town has been growing, following the equation P=200t+7000, where t is years after 2010. The number of restaurants in the town has been growing according to the equation R=7t+30. How many restaurants per capita does this model predict for the year 2014?

t=14
P(14) = 2800+7000=98000
R(14)=7(14)+30 = 98+30= 128
R/P = 128/98000 = 0.0013 or 0.13%
0.0013 restaurants per 1 person
13 restaurants for every 10,000 residents
1 restaurant for every 765.6 residents

in 2014, there has been 4 years since 2010, thus t = 4. using this, the population P = 200*4 + 7000 = 800 + 7000 = 7800, and then R = 7 * 4 + 30 = 28 + 30 = 58. The number of restaurants per capita -> restaraunts/population. Thus, the answer is 58/7800 = approximately 0.007 restaraunts per capita11/29/18
