Answer 1

Given that Lowell has been seeing a 10% drop in attendance every year.

The number of tickets sold this year is 34,721.

After one year, the number of tickets will reduce by 10%.

After one year, the number of tickets will be sell

`=34721-10\text{ \% of 34721}`

`=34721-(10)/(100)*34721`

`=31248.9`

After one year,31249 tickets will be sold.

After two year, the number of tickets will be sell

`=31248.9-(10)/(100)*31248.9`
`=28124.01`

After two years from now, we can expect 28124 tickets will sell.
