Problem: H<span>ow many months will it take for the membership to attain 300 members?
</span>Current: 140 members
6% increase each month
Target: 300 members
Approach: Utilize multiplication and division
Solution: To find the number of new members each month,
140 x 0.06 = 8.4, rounded to 9 (since we count individuals)
To find the total months, divide 300 (the goal) by the
number of new members per month.
300 / 9 = 33.333 months. Round 33 up to 34, since we seek the total months to hit the target of 300 members.
Answer: 34 months
