Answer:
12/5 or 2⅖
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 = 8/5
2x = 3 × 8/5
2x = 24/5
x = 24/5 ÷ 2
x = 12/5
Or 2⅖
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
If a population is decreasing by 8% we can multiply the population by 92% (1-.08)
which means we have the following equation
population=15000(.92)ⁿ
where n is the number of years
we want to know when the population will be 10,000 so we write
10,000=15,000(.92)ⁿ
.66667=.92ⁿ
a rule we have is

which means that

compute this and get
4.867
round this up to 5
99 would be to more than 89 because 89+10= 99<span />
