Question

I'm assuming they're looking for a percentage? and if so it would be 1/5 which is 20% decrease annually.

anonymous · Answer

The question asked for an exact answer I tried 20% but said it wasn't right

anonymous · Answer

well, if it was to continue at a rate of 600$ the percentage would change each year... so 20% the first year, and then 25% the second year and then 33.33% the next year and then 50%... so I dont really know... what they're looking for. sorry man.

Is this for a business class? There might be some equation

anonymous · Answer

It's for Brief Calculus and my major is business but my teacher isn't good at explaining this stuff

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I dont know. All the calculus functions for annual revenue are based on cost vs revenue.. not just losing business.
