In 2007, 500 millions copies of CDs were sold. The average decrease of sales annually is 1%. What year will annual sales reach 1 million?
------
Note:: If the decrease is 1%, the surviving rate is 99%.
-----
Solve:: 500 million*(0.99)^x = 1 million
-------
0.99^x = 1/500 million
---
x = log[1/500]/log[0.99] years
x = 618.35
Ans:: 2007+618.35 = 2625.35 which is in the year 2626
