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 
ppm.
Since we started with ppm, we have
