Question

A population of 1200 leopards decreases by 12% per year. How many leopards will there be in the population after 6 years? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

12% of 1200 is 144, so subtract that. you get 1056. 12% of that is 126.72, so you subtract that. you get 929.28. 12% of that is 111.5136 and you subtract that. and so on and so forth. the answer would be 557.
