Riverside currently generates 156,000 tons of garbage per year, but the city is launching some recycling initiatives to bring that number down. If, as a result, the amount of garbage
decreases by 7% each year, then how much garbage will be generated annually 11 years
from now?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
