Question

In 2006, the population of a country was 50.3 million people. From 2006-2050, the country's population is expected to decrease by 6.5%. Find the expected population of the country in 2050. 

Answer 1

First, find 6.5% of 50,300,000:
50,300,000 x 0.065 = 3,269,500
Now, subtract:
50,300,000 - 3,269,500  = 47,030,500
Hope this helps!
