Question

The population of some native bees is declining at a rate of 9% per year. If there are 13200 bees in a hive now, how many will there be in 5 years time?

Answer 1

There will be 7,260 bees in 5 years.

Answer 2

There will be 7,260 bees in 5 years.

Explanation:

9% per year=0.09(13200)=1188.

1,188 bees die a year.

1,188 times 5=5940

13200-5940=7260

Hope this helps:)
