The population of a city decreases by 4% per year. If this year's population is 171,000, what will next year's population be, to the nearest individual?

Sagot :

How I usually find % is in the calculator I put the number im trying to find the percent of so in this case 171,000 and I multiply that by .4 in the calculator so I would put in 171,000*.4 and get 68,400 but that’s not the answer because you have to get rid of the last number so 4% of 171,000 is 6,840 then you subtract that from 171,000 and that’s your answer I got 164,160 I hope this helps :)
