If the population of a town grew 16% up to 64,531, what was the population last year?

The population last year was 55630

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

The population of a town grew 16% up to 64,531

we have to find  the population last year

Let population last year be x

The new populationafter growing up by 16% is:

     116% of x=  64531

Hence, the population last year was 55630

your answer would be 10x - 1

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
