Question

A cooking show currently has about 223,00 regular viewers. The number of regular viewers has been decreasing at a rate of 4.7% per year. Which is the best prediction for the number of regular viewers the show will have in 6 years?

35,420
37,167
104,810
167,056

Answer 1

The best prediction for the number of regular spectators that the program will have in 6 years is obtained with the following formula:
Pf = Po×(1-b) ^ t
Where:
Pf = final population
Po = initial population
b = decrease rate
t = timpo in years
So:
Pf = 223.00×(1-0.047) ^ 6
Pf = 167,056
The answer is the last option.
