A river has a population of 700 salmon. Due to overfishing, this population is currently declining at a rate of 5% per year. Use this sequence to find the population over the next
five years. Round to the nearest whole number.

Each year, you need to multiply the previous amount of salmon by 0.95, because what is left is 95% of the previous year. 1 = 100%, 0.05 = 5%, 1 - 0.05 = 100% - 5% = 95%

f(1) 700*0.95 = 665

f(2) 665*0.95 = 631.75

f(3) 631.75*0.95 = 600.1625

f(4) 600.1625* 0.95 = 570.154375

f(5) 570.154375 *0.95 = 541.646656
