Question 507865: In one U.S. town, the annual consumption, s, of sugar (in kg per person) can be estimated by adding 30 to half the years, t, since 1975. graph the equation and use the graph to determine the sugar consumption in the year 1991.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s = sugar consumption
s = (1/2)*t + 30
where, t is the number of years since 1975.
.
1991 - 1975 = 16
.
s = (1/2)*16 + 30
s = 8 + 30
s = 38
