Question

2. Write an equation that represents the following situation

Starting value = 200
Rate = 2.5% decay per year
Years = 5 years​

Answer 1

The equation that represents the situation is: A = 200(1-0.025)^5 where A is the amount remaining after 5 years, 200 is the starting value, 0.025 is the decimal equivalent of the decay rate of 2.5%, and 5 is the number of years.
