Question

Item 3 a town had about 2120 acres of pine trees 40 years ago. only about 13% of the pine trees remain. how many acres of pine trees remain? round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

If only 13% remain, then you need to multiply the original amount by 13% or .13

So, 2120(.13)=275.6 This is rounded to the nearest 10th
