Answer:
A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of these exponential equations is ...
A(x) = a·b^x
where 'a' is the initial value, and b is the annual growth factor. x is the elapsed time in years.
The growth factor is ...
growth factor = 1 + growth rate
Here, the growth rate per year is -12%, so the growth factor is ...
b = 1 -12% = 88% = 0.88
Of course, the initial value is a=20,000, so the equation is ...
A(x) = 20000(0.88)^x
The answer is b=88

If you take the amount of green markers and divide them by the total, you come up with 0.21
If you do likewise with the others, you respectively come up with 0.47 and 0.32.
