WORD PROBLEM 2
Fido did not have fleas when his owners took him to the kennel. The number of fleas on Fido after he returned from the kennel grew according to the equation f = 8(3n). Where f is the number of fleas returned from the kennel. (Fido left the kennel at week 0.)
- a. How many fleas did Fido pick up at the kennel?
- b. What is the growth factor for the number of fleas?
- c. How many fleas will Fido have after 10 weeks if he is not
treated?
