Problem
In January the Mauna Loa Observatory recorded carbon dioxide levels of ppm (parts per million). Over the years the average reading has increased by about ppm each year. What is the expected level in ppm in January ? Round your answer to the nearest integer.
Solution 1
This is a time period of years, so we can expect the ppm to increase by . .

Solution 1
For each year that has passed, the ppm will increase by . In , the CO2 would have increased by so the total ppm of CO2 will be
-Benedict T (countmath1)
Solution 3
2030 - 1980 = 50 years. 338 + 50 * 1.515 = 338 + 75.75 = 413.75 for 2030 ppm level .
