At the Galapagos Islands, Dr. Owen finds 102 giant tortoise eggs that he brings back to his research center to be hatched in safety. At the research center, six of the eggs hatch, and the hatchlings are placed in a nursery. Dr. Owen places equal but unknown numbers of the remaining eggs in eight different labs. Which of the following equations best represents this situation?

Question 5 options:

8x-6=102

102x=8-6

6x+8=102

8x=102-6

8x-6=102

Step-by-step explanation:

8x the remaining eggs in 8 different labs and the 6 that are placed in the lab and the total is 102 so 8x-6=102

it is a reproduction.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
