The deer population in a region is expected to decline 1.1% from 2010-2020. assuming this continued how many deer would there be in the region in the year 2060 if the 2010 population was 1,578? 1,406 1,510 1,493 1,385

Option C. 1,493

Step-by-step explanation:

If the deer population in a region is expected to decline 1.1% from 2010 to 2020. Assuming this continued, we can say that the deer population decreases 1.1% each ten years.

From 2010 to 2060 there are 50 years. If the deer population decreases 1.1% each ten years, then it will decrease 5.5% in 50 years.

If the population in 2010 was 1,578. Then, the population in 2060 is going to be:

Using the rule of three:

If 1578 > Represents 100%

    X       <       5.5%

X = (5.5%x1578)/100% = 86.79 ≈ 87

Then the total population in 2060 is: 1578 - 87 = 1491

None of the answers equal to 1491. That's why I assume the correct answer must be Option C. 1,493. Given that it's the closest answer!
