13) Approximately 1% of US students were studying abroad in 1994. Based on data from the Institute of International Education, the number of US students in study-abroad programs from 1994-1997 can be modeled using the equation
y = 7248x + 76207, where x =0 corresponds to year 1994. Using this model, what would you expect to be the number of US students studying aboard in 1995?

14) A storage tank has two inlet pipes, A and B. With only inlet pipe A open, the tank fills twice as fast as with only inlet pipe B open. With both pipes open, the tank fills in 6 hours. How long does it take for each inlet pipe alone to fill the tank?
