First of all, we have to check out what the yearly decrease really amounted to. Then we'll know if the equation we are using is correct. 

If there is a 26% decrease, then there's 74% of the population that remains. So after 1 year, 74% of 426000 people still live in this community. How many people are still there?

P = 426000 * (74/100) ^1 
P = 315240  are still left in our community. What about the second year? This is really critical, because if we make a mistake in our theory, it will show up here.

P2 = 315240 * (74/100)
P2 = 233277 People still live in this community.


Could we have found P2 directly? Yes.
P2 = 426000 * 0.74^2
P2 = 233277 is the answer. So now we know what the answer to the question must be

year one:315240 is the population in the first year
year two:233277 is the population in the second year

Now we're ready to begin answering your question.
If we start out with 
P =426000 ((1 - 0.26)^1/12)^(12t) we should be able to get a monthly drop for a yearly %. You better read this over a couple of times to get the idea.

So  P = [426000*(.74)^(1/12)]^12t is what you do. By the law of powers, you have done nothing to the actual equation, because the 12s cancel.

Put this in your calculator
.74^(1/12) = 0.97522
Ans our equation becomes
P = 426000 * 0.97522^(12t) where t is in years.

To check the equation, we will let t = 1
P = 426000 * 0.97522^12 
P = 315240

But the acid test is year two.
P = 426000 * 0.97522^24
P = 233277 which checks with doing it one step at a time using 0.74

So the answer is 
P = a * 0.97522^12t 
b = 0.97522 
c = 12*t

100%-26%
426000*(1-0.26)^t, yearly
(0.74^(1/12))=0.74^0.083 monthly rate of decrease
 Equation for calculation population
426000*(0.74^0.083)^12t

I think it should look like this 0.74^0.083 monthly rate of decrease

Charles bought 24 blow-pops for $7.20. His little sister Tracy wants 11 blow-pops. How much will 11 blow-pops cost?
Norma-Jean [14]

$3.30 because taking the cost of 24, which is $7.20, and dividing is by the amount, 24, you get that one Blow-Pop costs $0.30. Then to find how many 11 costs you just need to multiply $0.30 by 11, and you get $3.30.

A bag contains 5 blue marbles, 2black marbles ,and 3 red marbles. A marine is randomly drawn from the bag The probability of not
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

The probability of not drawing a red marble is   7/10

The probability of drawing a red marble is  3/10

=======================================================

Explanation:

We have 3 red marbles out of 5+2+3 = 10 total. Therefore, the probability of selecting a red marble is 3/10.

The probability of not selecting a red marble is 7/10 because 3/10+7/10 = 1. Put another way, we have 7 marbles that aren't red (the 5 blue and 2 black ones) out of 10 total.

Find the balance on a deposit of $455 that earns 4% interest compounded annually for 2 years. $36.40 $491.40 $492.13 $819
STatiana [176]
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{tn}
A=future amount
P=present amount
r=rate in decimal
n=number of times per year compounded
t=time in years

given
P=455
r=4%=0.04
n=1
t=2

A=455(1+ \frac{0.04}{1})^{(2)(1)}
A=455(1+ 0.04)^{2}
A=455(1.04)^{2}
A=492.128
round
$492.13
