You are the new caretaker of the pandas at the Madrid zoo and your star panda, Puddles, is overweight. She just lays around in a tree all day long and the zoo is getting horrible press. You were hired because of your expertise in mammals and you need to show them you can get the panda's weight under control.
You've decided to make him exercise every day and put him on a limited diet. He's making some progress but the zoo public relations director wants to know when Puddles will be down to his healthy weight of 175 pounds. You've graphed his weight over the last two weeks and fit the data to a line: y = -0.26*x + 188.8. Based on the trend so far, when will Puddles be at his healthy weight of 175 pounds? (Day 16 is today, April 30th.)
