Answer 4

So it says Lakewood is 21/25 of Pincrest's, so that would mean Pincrest is 25/25. You agree with that part?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

We're also given that Pinecrest has a population of 18,000. That means Pincrest is 18,000/18,000. That's where we can set it up

Since 25 = 18,000 according those fractions:

\[\frac{ x }{ 18,000 }=\frac{ 21 }{ 25 }\]

Now you can solve for X
