Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumption of a vegetable has decreased. While the consumption per capita in 2000 was 25.2 ​pounds, in​ 2010, the consumption dropped to 15.2 pounds.

Consumption in 2000= 25.2 pounds

Consumption in 2010= 15.2 pounds

Difference in consumption=

25.2 - 15.2 = 10.0

Percentage decrease will be difference in consumption divided by original consumption in 2000 multiplied by 100. This will be:

= 10.0/25.2 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

Present investment, P = 22000
APR, r = 0.0525
compounding time = 10 years
Future amount, A 

A. compounded annually
n=10*1=10
i=r=0.0525
A=P(1+i)^n
=22000(1+0.0525)^10
=36698.11

B. compounded quarterly
n=10*4=40
i=r/4=0.0525/4
A=P(1+i)^n
=22000*(1+0.0525/4)^40
=37063.29
