On January 1 of 2025, Website Nexus had 1,000 registered users, and Website Echo had 1,600 registered users. Each site gained a constant number of new users every month, and by May 1, 2025, Website Nexus had 250% more registered users than Website Echo.
In the table, select for
Nexus the number of registered users it gained per month and select for Echo the number of registered users it gained per month that would be jointly consistent with the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.
January 1’2025 , the number of registered users
Website Nexus = 1000
Website Echo = 1600
The users get added each month by a constant number for nexus (a) and Echo (b).
Jan — Feb —- Mar —- Apr —- May.
So we have 4 additions in each category.
On May 1’2025: Nexus = 1000+4a , while Echo = 1600+4b
Given that: On May 1’2025: the value of Nexus is
250% more than the value of Echo.
250% more = 1 + (250/100) = 7/2
1000+4a = (7/2)* (1600+4b)
2000 + 8a = 11200 + 28b
8a - 28b = 9200
2a - 7b = 2300 2a = 2300+7b
The possible answer solutions are : 200, 300, 700, 1500, 2100 and 3600.
If I take a =2100, then 4200 = 2300 + 7b
7b =1900. Not possible.
Let’s take
a = 3600, then 2a = 2*3600 = 7200.
7200 = 2300 + 7b
7b = 4900
b = 700 .
This gives a possible answer.
Hence,
Nexus = 3600, Echo = 700.
