Question

according to a recent survey, in 2000, 64% of households had one or more pets.Throughout the next decade, this decreased by approximately 1% per year. if this trend continues, in which year will 30% of households have pets?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Year 2034

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2000, 64% had one or more pets

Since decreasing at 1% per year, we can say:

In 2001, 63%

In 2002, 62%

In 2003, 61%

In 2004, 60%

And so on

To go to 30% from 60% in 2004, we would need to decrease 60 - 30 = 30%, and that will occur after 30 more years. So that would be the year

2004 + 30 = 2034

So, year 2034
