A simple interest......A fully inflated beach ball loses 6% of its year everyday.if the beach ball originally contains 4000 cubic centimeters of air,how many cubic centimeters does it hold after 10 days?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is \[4000(1-.06)^{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the beach ball loses air...u know this is an exponential decay prob..the decay rate is .06...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or \[4000(.94)^{10}\] which is 2145 rounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah its 2154

OpenStudy (anonymous):

loses 6% a day for 10 days so each day it is 94% = .94 of its previous amount.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
