In 2010, the population of a town is 8500. the population decreases by 4.5% each year. write an equation to find the population of the town t years after 2010. in what year will the population of the town be 7000.

in 2014

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in 2010,  the population of a town is 8500. the population decreases by 4.5% each year.

Hence equation for population would be

It is required to find out the year in which the population will be 7000.

Take log to get

t log 0.955 = log 0.8235

t=

=4.237 year

i.. in 2014 year the population will become 7000

29.5977692753

step-by-step explanation:

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
