Question

A small town has two local high schools. High School A currently has 600 students

Answer 1

Answer:

The senior class will have 100 members in the 13th year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound interest equation with a negative interest rate:

A = P(1  + r/n)^(n)(t)

Let n be 1 since we're looking for a specific year.

100 = 250(1 - 0.07)^t

100/250 = (0.93)^t

0.4 = (0.93)^t

t = 13 years
