QuestionA population of 56,117 animals decreases by $9.9\%$ yearly. Find the population after 8 years, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the final population.
$$=56,117 \times0.4309 \approx24,172.5$$Since we cannot have a fraction of an animal, we round to the nearest whole number.
$$\approx24,173$$After years, the population is predicted to be approximately24,173 animals.
