Answer:
At North High School, 176 students buy non-spiral notebooks from the school store. This number has been increasing at a rate of about 24 per year. The number of students buying spiral notebook is 331 and has been decreasing at a rate of about 15 per year. At these rates, when will the number of spiral notebooks sold be half the number of non-spiral notebooks sold?
