The population of largemouth bass in a pond is decreasing at the rate of 10% per year. If the population of largemouth bass is 5,000 this year, what will the population be in 16 years?

Answer :

Answer:

Population after 16 year = 927 people (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Decrease rate = 10% per year

Current population = 5,000

Find:

Population after 16 year

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

A = 5,000[1-0.1]¹⁶

A = 5,000[0.9]¹⁶

A = 5,000[0.1853]

A = 926.51

Population after 16 year = 927 people (Approx.)
