Explain how you got your answer.
----------------------------
Sequence: 7,15,24,....
-------------------
I ran a linear regression program on the data and
got the following regression equation:
f(x) = 8.5x -(5/3)
--------------------------
So, f(8) = 8.5(8)-(5/3) = 66 1/3
---
Round down to 66 gulls on day 8

You can put this solution on YOUR website! None because the supermarket will do something on the 6th day because they are messing on the cars and customers costing them business and money. A real answer to a real question.
