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
Okay so the first thing we should do here is round 5.29 rounds to 5.30 3.59 rounds to 3.60 and 4.79 rounds to 4.80 now add all of those up youll get 13.7 you can round that to 14 so samanthas estimate is accurate
