24408

Explanation:

GIVEN: The local newspaper in Danville has seen its subscription go down
10\% each year. The paper currently has
70000 subscribers.

TO FIND: How many subscribers will the paper have in
10 years

SOLUTION:

Total subscribers newspaper have now
=70,000

rate of decline o subscribers in newspaper
=10\%

total subscriber after 1 year
=70,000-(10)/(100)*70,000=63,000

total subscriber after 2 year
=63,000-(10)/(100)*63,000=56,700

total subscriber after 3 year
=56,700-(10)/(100)*56,700=51030

total subscriber after 4 year
=51,030-(10)/(100)*51,030=45927

total subscriber after 5 year
=45,927-(10)/(100)*45,927\approx41334

total subscriber after 6 year
=41,334-(10)/(100)*41,334\approx37201

total subscriber after 7 year
=37,201-(10)/(100)*37,201\approx33,481

total subscriber after 8 year
=33,481-(10)/(100)*33,481\approx30,133

total subscriber after 9 year
=30,133-(10)/(100)*30,133\approx27120

total subscriber after 10 year
=27,120-(10)/(100)*27,120\approx24408

Hence the total subscribers in
10 years will be
24408
