The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 1.1% each year. if there are 3,000 people in the town right now, how many people will be living in the town in 10 years? round your answer to the nearest whole number.

total = 3000*(1-0.011)^10

1-0.011 = 0.989

total = 3000*(0.989)^10

0.989^10 = 0.895288314

3000* 0.895288314 = 2685.86

rounded to nearest whole number = 2686

 there will be 2686 people

3 is greater then both of those numbers

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
