Answer:

Rate of Decay = 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula is:

F=P(1-r)^t

Where F is the final value (here, it is given as "Y")

P is the initial value (here, given as 20,000)

r is the rate of decay (what we need to find)

t is the time (given as 2)

Comparing both the equations:

F=P(1-r)^t\\Y=20,000(0.92)^2

We see that:

1 - r  =0.92

We solve for "r":

1 - 0.92 = r

0.08 = r

The rate of decay is 0.08, as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so we have:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

Rate of Decay = 8%

Tju [1.3M]
Percent change formula states that

((New-old)/old) x 100 = the percent change / percent increase
So if we take your equation and plug it into our formula

((225-120)/120) x 100

(105)/120 x 100

.875 x 100

87.5 % increase of students on the trip

Hope this helps!
