Question

The population of a city decreases by 1.1% per year. If this year's population is
79,000, what will next year's population be, to the nearest individual?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 1.1% = 98.9% = 0.989

79000(0.989)¹ = 78,131

or

1.1% = 0.011

79000(0.011) = 869

79000 - 869 = 78,131
