A news item is heard on the late news by 8 of the 144 people in a small community. By the end of the next day 24 people have heard the news. Write an equation for the number of people, y, who have heard the news in t days. How many people have heard the news after 3 days? Complete the equation below. 144 y= (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)
