Acertain forest covers an area of
4500 km2. suppose that each year this area decreases by 8.75%. what will the area be after 6 years?
use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest square kilometer.

2598 square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Step 1

year one

using a rule of three is possible to find how much is 8.75 od 4500 km2

Let

if

4500 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year one, the area will be

4500-393.75=4106.25

this will be the initial area for the year 2.

Step 2

repite the step 1 with area initial =4106.25 km2

4106.25 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year 2, the area will be

4106-359.29=3746.70

this will be the initial area for the year 3.

Step 3

repite the step 1 with area initial =4106.25 km2

3746.70 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year 3, the area will be

3746.70-327.83=3419.09

this will be the initial area for the year  4.

Step 4

year four

repite the step 1 with area initial =3419.09 km2

3419.09 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year 4, the area will be

3419.09-299.173=3119.82

this will be the initial area for the year  5.

Step 5

year five

repite the step 1 with area initial =3119.82 km2

3119.82 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year 5, the area will be

3119.82-272.99=2846.92

this will be the initial area for the year  6.

Step 6

year six

repite the step 1 with area initial =2846.92km2

2846.92 km2  ⇒ 100$

x?km2         ⇒8.75

do the relation and isolate x

at the end of the year six, the area will be

2846.92-249.10=2597.82 square kilometers

Have a great day.
