A population of llamas stranded on a desert island is decreasing due to a food shortage by 6% per year. If the population of llamas started out at 350, how many are left on the island 10 years later?

Respuesta :

Answer:

189

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Initial population=350

Rate = 6%

TIme= 10 years

Let us apply the compounding expression

A=P(1-r)^t----------The negative sign is due to decreasing value

substitute

A= 350(1-0.06)^10

A=350(0.94)^10

A=350*0.5386

A=188.51

Hence the approximate population will be 189
