The population of a small town is decreasing by 2% per year. The population in the year 2017 was 3,850. A. By how many people will be the population decrease from 2027 to 2018? B. What will be the populatiom of the town in 2018?

A. 77

B. 3,773

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, computation of given data are as follows,

Population in 2017 = 3,850

Decrease rate = 2% per year

(A) We can calculate number of population decrease from 2017 to 2018 by using following formula,

Number of population decrease = Population in 2017 × Decrease rate

= 3,850 × 2%

= 77

(B). Total population in 2018 = 3,850 - 77

= 3,773

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
