A major fishing company does its fishing in a local lake. The first year of the company's operations it managed to catch 170,000 fish. Due to population decreases,

the number of fish the company was able to catch decreased by 8% each year. How many total fish did the company catch over the first 8 years, to the nearest whole
number?

Answer:

170,000 = 100%

100-8 =92%

92/100=0.92

170,000 x 0.92^8 = 87247.20843

It's 87, 247 fish to nearest whole number
