Percentage decrease :
A population of wolves in a county is represented by the equation,
[tex]P(t)=80(0.98)^{t}[/tex]
where t is the number of years.
Let us consider that, 1998 is base year. so that, t = 0
[tex]P(0)=80[/tex]
Population of wolves in 1999, substitute t=1
[tex]P(1)=80*0.98=78.4[/tex]
the percent decrease of wolves per year is computed as;
[tex]=\frac{80-78.4}{80} *100\\\\=\frac{1.6}{100}*100\\ \\=0.02*100=2\%[/tex]
The percent decrease of wolves per year is 2%.
