Answer:

~ 104 135

Step-by-step explanation:

Decreasing by 8% each year means  92% is left each year

Formula

  FV = PV ( i)^n       FV = population in future  PV = pop now  

                                       i = 92% in decimal form = .92     n = years = 5

FV = 158000(.92)^5 = 104135

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The population of the city after 5 years will be 104135.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given that the population of a city is 158,000 and is decreasing by 8% every year. Therefore, the population of the city after 5 years will be,

Population after 5 years = 158,000(1-0.08)⁵

                                          = 158,000 × 0.659

                                          = 104134.8807 ≈ 104135

Hence, the population of the city after 5 years will be 104135.
