Acertain forest covers an area of
4100
km2
. suppose that each year this area decreases by
4.75%
. what will the area be after
5
years?

Happy to help :)
after 1 yr- 3905.25 km2
2 yrs- approx. 3719.75 km2
3 yrs- approx. 3543.06 km2
4 yrs- approx. 3374.77 km2
5 yrs- approx. 3214.47 km2

The full decimal for the 5 yr mark is 3214.46557 km2 (not sure if you needed it)

To solve you would convert 4.75% into .0475 as a decimal, then subtract that from 1 (which acts as 100%) and you get .9525, then just multiply that by 4100 and each number that results from that ;)

Line the mark up so you will find your answer

The answer is c. 7 (i think) i’m almost sure though
