Question 166249
The number of American daily evening papers dropped 12.6% from 1990 to 1994. There were 1084 evening papers in 1990. How many were there in 1994? 
------------------
Let "x" be the number in 1994.
EQUATION:
x = 1084 - 0.126(1084) = 1084(1-0.126) = 1084(0.874) = 947.416
Rounding down you get x = 947 newspapers
