Problema Solution

Marine biologists have set up stations along the shoreline of a large oil spill to clean birds affected by the spill. The cost to set up the cleaning station is $9800 and the cost of cleaning each bird is $9

If the organization has a budget of $13 per bird, how many birds can be cleaned?

Let the no. of birds being cleaned be x

then 13x = 9800+9x

so 2450 birds can be cleaned...
