Question 2 (1 point)
Scientists studied the population of a species of bat in some caves in Missouri from
1983 to 2003. In 1983, there were 141,200 bats living in the caves. That number
decreased by about 11% annually until 2003.
How many bats were there in 2000?
O A) 13,729 bats
OB) 19,474 bats
OC) 58,210 bats
OD) 62,455 bats

B) 19474 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of bats = 141200

Decrease rate = 11% annually

Time passed until the year 2000 = 2000 -1983= 17 years

Bats population in 2000:

Correct answers choice is: B) 19474 bats

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
