Question

A population of rhinos decreases by 22% each year. How many rhinos will there be in 4 years if there are 200 rhinos now?

Answer 1

Answer this: How many rhinos will there be NEXT year if there are 200 rhinos now?

Answer 2

I dont know.... i dont get this

Answer 3

That's not good enough, KitKat151. Let's relax a little and wade through it.

What is 22% of 200.

Answer 4

200*22% = 200 * 0.22 = 44 -- That is exactly correct.

Next question. How much is left of 200 after 22% is removed?

Answer 5

156

Answer 6

200 - 44 = 156. Perfect. Now, let's play with this a little. There is another way to do this. We can manipulate the percentage instead of the numbers!

We want to remove 22%. This must mean that we will have 100% - 22% = 78% left. Does this make sense?

Answer 7

Yes!!

Answer 8

Okay, then instead of going to all the trouble to calculate how many rhinos to subtract, let's just calculate the value of remaining rhinos directly.

How many rhinos are left of 200 if we remove 22%?

Hard Way:

200 * 22% = 44
200 - 44 = 156

Smoother Way

200 * 78% = 156 -- Bam!!

What do you thnk?

Answer 9

I think u r awsome!! THANK YOU!!! i get it know! lol

Answer 10

What did you get for the 22% reduction for all five years?

Answer 11

after one year population decreases by 22% => after one year
population = population*[1- 22/100]
after 2 years population = population*[1- 22/100]^2
after 4 years population = population*[1- 22/100]^4
final population = 200 * (0.78^4) = 74.03

Answer 12

I got 57.74348736 for 5 years @tkhunny

Answer 13

Thank you @sriramreddy

Answer 14

\(200\cdot(1 - 0.22)^{4} = 200\cdot 0.78^{4} = 200\cdot 0.37015056 = 74.030112\)

\(200\cdot 0.78^{5} = 57.74348736\)

You are now the exponentially decreasing population wizard!

Answer 15

THANK YOU!!!!!! lol :)

Answer 16

Except, of course, that rhinos don't come in pieces. The correct answer, after four years, most likely would be 74.
