Answer: Approximately 25187 animals of this species will be left in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the population of animals after x years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population of animals.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

b = 200000

r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

x = 2025 - 1980 = 45 years

Therefore,

y = 200000(1 - 0.045)^45

y = 200000(0.955)^45

y = 25187

Answer:

There'll be approximately 25187.3059 animals of this species in 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have a compounded interest problem, but the interest rate is negative, since the number will be decreasing. To solve it we can use the compound interest formula shown bellow:

M = C*(1 + r)^(t)

Where M is the final amount, C is the initial amount, r is the interest rate and t is the time elapsed.

In this case the time elapsed was from 1980 to 2025, so 45 years. Applying the data to the formula gives us:

M = 200000*(1 + (-0.045))^(45)

M = 200000*(1 - 0.045)^(45)

M = 200000*(0.955)^(45)

M = 25187.3059

There'll be approximately 25187.3059 animals of this species in 2025.

What is 150% of 3000? Round to the nearest hundredth
marin [14]

We want to find 150% of 3000. since 150% is greater than 100%, it is expected that 150% 0f 3000 will also be greater than 3000.

150\text{\% of 3000 }=\frac{150}{100}\times3000=4500

Therefore, 150% of 3000 is equal to 4500.

A geographer found that the land area of Aruba is 75 square miles and the land area of Bermuda is 19 square miles. Based on thes
MakcuM [25]

The interpretation of<em> </em><em>x</em> in the equation 75•x + 19•y = T, used by the geographer, based on the land area of Aruba, 75 m², and Bermuda, 19 m², is the population in a square mile of Aruba

<h3>Which method can be used to find the interpretation of <em>x </em>in the equation?</h3>

The land area of Aruba = 75 m²

Land area of Bermuda = 19 m²

The total number of residents is given in the question by the equation;

75•x + 19•y = T

Therefore;

x = The number of people in a square mile in Aruba

y = The number of people in a square mile in Bermuda

Which gives;

  • The interpretation of the variable, <em>x </em>in the context is the population of Aruba per square mile.
