Given:
Current population = x
The population of a city is expected to decrease by 6% next year.
To find:
The expression that represents the expected population next year.
Solution:
We have,
Current population = x
Decrease rate = 6%.
Expected population next year = Current population - 6% of Current population
=[tex]x-\dfrac{6}{100}x[/tex]
=[tex]x-0.06x[/tex]
=[tex]0.94x[/tex]
Therefore, the expression for the expected population next year is 0.94x.
