You can put this solution on YOUR website! A certain forest covers an area of 4500 km2.
Suppose that each year this area decreases by 8.75%. What will the area be after 6 years?
--------
Note: Each year 1 - 8.75% = 91.25% of the acreage survives.
------------------------
A(6) = 4500*0.9125^6 = 2597.82
