Can somebody tell me how to solve these kind of problems?


A certain forest covers an area of 1700km^2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 5.75%. What will the area be after 8 years?

Answer: 918km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]area(a): 1700km^2\\percentage(p): 5.75 = \frac{5.75}{100}=0.0575\\years(y): 8[/tex]

Let x be the new dimension of the area;

[tex]x=a-(a*p*y)[/tex]

[tex]x=(1700km^2)-(1700km^2*0.0575*8)\\x=1700km^2-782km^2\\x=918km^2[/tex]
