Question

The population of bees has been decreasing at a rate of 10% per year in 2012 there were 6000 bees in particular hive how many bees were there in 2014

Answer 1

2012 = 6000 bees
10% of  6000 is 60
so 6000 - 60 = 5940
2013 = 5940 bees
 10% of 5940 = 59.4
so 5940 - 59.4 = 5880.6
so in 2014 you 5881 because you cant have a 0.6 of a bee
