A glass of cold milk is sitting on the counter, warming up to room temperature. Currently, the milk is 16°C below room temperature. However, that temperature difference is shrinking by 7% every minute. What will the temperature difference be in 14 minutes? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer: it's 8.6 or 1.4

Explanation:

Turn 10% into a decimal form... .10

.10 x 14 = 1.4

10 - 1.4 = 8.6
