Answer:

250*(0.96)^8=180 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first year, we know there are 250. Moving on every year, we multiply the # from the previous year by 0.96, which is the same as taking 96 percent (excluding the decreasing 4%). This gives us a multiplication of 0.96 ^8, which we have to multiply by the original 250
