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

Here are the fuel efficiencies (in mpg) of 12 new cars . 28, 14, 48, 22, 14, 18, 52, 36, 32, 20, 12, 55 What is the percentage o
SSSSS [86.1K]
25% assuming you don’t count the car with 18 mpg fuel efficiency.

if you add the amount of cars up that have less than 18 mpg and then divide it by the total number (12) you will get a decimal (0.25) to find the percent multiply the decimal by 100

Solve -6 4/9-3 2/9-82/9
Gala2k [10]

Answer: The final answer in proper fraction is 169/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

-6 4/9-3 2/9-82/9

Firstly let us convert all mixed fraction to proper fraction to further simplify the expression

-58/9 - 29/9 - 82/9

We now have all terms in proper fraction, we can continue by finding the LCM which is 9

= (- 58-29-82)/9

= 169/9

A circle has a radius of five ft.
Flura [38]
A. for the circumference it is C=pi(d)=pi(2r)=pi(10)=  31.4 ft
b. for the area it is A=pi(r)^2=pi(5)^2=pi(25)= 78.5 ft squared
c. since the are is 78.5 ft squared multiply by $4.50= $353.25 to floor the circle.
