The expression 87000(1.12)^t represents the population of a town t hears after 1996. By what percent does the population increase each year? PLEASE ADD AN EXPLANATION AND HELP M

It is 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

A or 87000 in this case represents the starting value, which is this case is the starting population of the town. r or 1.12 represents the percentage increase, if it increases by 12% than the next year has 1.12 times as many people as the previous year so this is represented by 1.12 rather than say 0.12 which would indicate a 88% decrease instead.  t is the time, no. of years in this case, that has elapsed since 1996. This formula basically means that a town population of 87000 increases by 12% for every year of time that elapses.

x^6

step-by-step explanation:

this is correct because:

x-6=0

0*x=0

so

x^6

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
