Answer:

188

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 8

f(n) = 5 f(n−1) − 2

f(2) = 5 f(2−1) − 2

f(2) = 5 f(1) − 2

f(2) = 5 × 8 − 2

f(2) = 38

f(3) = 5 f(3−1) − 2

f(3) = 5 f(2) − 2

f(3) = 5 × 38 − 2

f(3) = 188

Answer:

15.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent decrease formula =

(Initial value - New value/Initial value) × 100

Initial value = 9200kg

New value = 7739.4kg

Percent decrease = (9200 - 7739.4/9200) × 100

Percent decrease = (1460.6/9200) × 100

Percent decrease = 15.8760869565%

Approximately = 15.9%

The percent of decrease in the amount of strawberries used annually is 15.9%
