The population of Ketchum high school has been decreasing by 5% per year. If it's population is currently 2,600 students, which of te following is closer to its population two years from now?
I think its 206 because you'll have to change 5% into a decimal and you'll get 0.05 because you move the decimal place to the left 2 times. Then multiply 2,600 to 0.05 to get what the population decreasing for a year, (130) then multiply is by 2 (for 2 years) and you'll get 260 students. -Have fun in math :/
