While i was doing some sat math, there was one question that i didnt understand at all.

n(t) = 0.5t² - 20t + k

There was a 100 day period when the number of bees in a certain hive could be modeled by the function n above. in the function, k is a constant and n(t) represents the number of bees on day number t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 99. On what number of day was the number of bees in the hive the same as it was on day number 10?

The correct answer is (B) 30.

Well, im sure i would have had a better chance to find the solution if i understood the question. Can someone please explain me what they mean and how to solve it?

Thanksss
