In 2000, each person in the US consumed an average of 135 pounds of natural sweeteners. The amount of natural sweeteners consumed is increasing by an average of 2.9 pounds per year. 1.) Write an equation to find the average consumption of natural sweeteners in any year after 2000.
2.) Find the number of pounds of natural sweeteners consumed by each person in 2010.
a.) C= 2.9n +135 and C= 164 pounds
b.) C= 2.9 +n +135 and C = 154 pounds
c.) C= 2.9/n + 135 and C=164 pounds
d.) C= 2.9-n+135 and C = 154 pounds
