According to the data above, if the population of coati in the protected region of Tikal National Park increased at the same rate from 2004-2006 as it did from 2000-2004, then what was the number of coati in the park in 2006 ?
A. 180 B. 190 C. 200 D. 210
Explanation: C You can see from the graph that from 2000 to 2002, the number of coati increased from 140 to 160. From 2002 to 2004, the number increased from 160 to 180. Therefore, the number of coati is increasing at a rate of 20 every 2 years. In 2006, if the rate of increase remains the same, the number of coati should be 180 + 20 = 200, which is (C).
