As Soon As Possible! (please) Each day a supernatural termite can eat 35% more wood grains that it did the day before. If a 20-day old termite has eaten 97,231 grains of wood, how many wood grains (to the nearest grain) will it eat on the 22nd day?

A) 84 grains
B) 130,745 grains
C) 176,589 grains
D) 235,768 grains

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
