Apopulation of 80,000 toads is expected to shrink at a rate of 9.2% per year. what will be the toad population be in 20 years?

Using the formula:

                         .....[1]

where,

P is the population after t years

is the initial population

r is the rate (in decimal)

As per the statement:

A population of 80,000 toads is expected to shrink at a rate of 9.2% per year.

⇒Initial population() = 80,000 toad

and

r = -9.2% = -0.092

We have to find the toad population be in 20 years.

t = 20 years

Substitute the given values in [1], we have;

⇒

Simplify:

Therefore, about 11609 will be the toad population be in 20 years.
