Question

A video sharing website starts with 20,000 members. Each year it loses 25% of the members, but adds 10,000 new members after the reduction. Write a recursive rule to find the number of members for any year.

Answer 1

Hello there!

So, as we see here, we can see that they start out with 20,000 members. 25% of 20,000 would be 5,000 members.

So, every year, they lose 25% which is 5,000 members of they team. But then they gain 10,000 more.

So, practically, they get 5,000 every year even though they get 25% off.

5,000 would be the answer.
