Problema Solution
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 1990, 28% of babies in the United States were born to parents who were not married. Throughout the 1990s, this increased by approximately .6% per year. If this trend continues, in which year will 61% of babies be born out of wedlock?
Answer provided by our tutors
0.28 + 0.006x = .61
0.006x = .33
x = 55
Therefore, it will take 55 years to reach 61%, which will be the year 2045.
