16% of the town's population are above the age of 65. If there are 320 residents are over the age of 65, approximately what is the town's total population?

the total population is 2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

so if we double 16 we get 32% and we have 640 residents then we ad 8% which gets us to an even number of 40% and therefor we add half the 16% to our 640 to get 800 and this is sounding complicated but stick with me. now that we have 40% of the population is 800 people then 80% is 1,600 then we add half or 20% and get 100% is 2,000 people

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
