heres the excerpt

Answer 19

Workplace Statistics
One in four adults suffers from mental health disorders every year (“Statistics,” 2010). If we consider the number of people who made up the American population in 2004, this constitutes approximately 57.7 million people. There are approximately a .9% population growth within the United States each year (“Population growth,” 2011), and fewer people are choosing to seek mental health support than ever before (“Survey says,” 2010). The survey referenced above states that people would rather, “eat (28%), smoke (14%), shop (15%) or watch TV (36%) than see a therapist as a stress management technique.”

Answer 24

lol
we need to use answer from First part

Answer 25

Create a formula that will tell you how many people are in the US if 1/4th of the people equals 57.7 million

Answer 26

for this, you got the formula as this :

\[\huge{\frac{x}{4} = 57.7\ million}\]

Answer 27

?

Answer 28

yep een there done that

Answer 29

*been

Answer 30

yep.. we need to use that forumula for Second part as well

Answer 31

there, x is the population of US current year.
current year population, x = 57.7 * 4 = 229.6 million

Answer 32

k

Answer 33

lets put the data we have so far :
\(\textbf{
1) currrent year population : 229.6 million} \\\textbf{
2) population is growing at a rate of : 0.9 %
}\)

now, can we work out Second part ?
Create a formula that will calculate the total number of people in the US next year

Answer 34

total number of people in the next year =
\[229.6\ million + 0.9\%\ growth\]

Answer 35

=
\[229.6\ million + \frac{0.9}{100}*229.6\]

Answer 36

hey where the hell the fraction pop out of!!!
the bushes?????

Answer 37

you lost me at fractions i can feel my brain running for the hills

Answer 38

haha..
when ever we are dealing with a %

Answer 41

nono it ok i remember that now

Answer 42

Answer 44

yh.. lol... happens..
good luck with rest of the problem... :)

Answer 45

broke out in a cold sweat

Answer 46

but thats it right its just fiiguring out the equation from there or is it more?

Answer 47

question is asking about formula. so it should be like this :

if "x" is the current population of US.
next year population
\[\huge = x + \frac{0.9}{100}*x\]

Answer 48

we are hiding the number 229.6 million, and calling it as \(x\)

Answer 49

we can use this formula for knowing growth in surfers, skydivers... etc in later part of the problem.. hope its clear...

Answer 50

yep and thanks for holding my hand so to speak threw this problem iv'e been on this site for an hr asking for help with this question
