Question

write an equation that models a population that starts at 952 and is reduced by 35% each year. find population at 7 months

Answer 1

Explanation:

`P= P_(0)*(1-r)^(t)`

Where P= population after t years,
`P_(0)`= initial population, r= rate of reduction, and t= the number of years.

`(7 months)/(x) *(1 year)/(12 months) =(7)/(12) or 0.583`

`P=952*(1-0.35)^(7)/(12)`

p= 740.4625 or 740 rounded to the nearest whole number.
