If that number is x:
120 = 1.60x
x = 120/1.60=75
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving
2x + 6 = 4x - 4
Bringing like terms on one side
6 + 4 = 4x - 2x
10 = 2x
10 / 2 = x
5 = x
Answer:
Population after 4 years = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 47 (nearest unit)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yearly decrease = 4.6%
Decrease factor (what's left) = (100-4.6)% = 0.954
Current population, P = 60
population after n years = P(0.954)^n (to the nearest unit)
Population after 4 years = 60(0.954)^4 = 49.7 = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 60(0.954)^5 = 47.4 = 47 (nearest unit)
