The consumption of cigarettes is declining. If t represents the number of years since 1985, then the consumption, C, is modeled by
\n" ); document.write( "C=-14.25t+598.69\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where C represents the number of billions of cigarettes smoked per year.
\n" ); document.write( "Write an inequality to show the first year cigarette consumption is less than 200 billion cigarettes a year
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "Inequality:
\n" ); document.write( "-14.25t + 598.69 < 200
\n" ); document.write( "14.25t > 598.69-200
\n" ); document.write( "14.25t > 398.69
\n" ); document.write( "t > 27.97 years\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "1985 + 27.97 = 2012.97
\n" ); document.write( "Rounding up the year would be 2013
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
