A cooking show currently has about 223,000 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?

There would be about 167,056 viewers.

The equation would be written in the form

y = a (1+r) ˣ, where a is the initial amount, r is the rate written as a decimal, and x is the number of time periods. For our equation, we have:

y = 223000 (1-0.047) ⁶ = 223000 (0.953) ⁶ = 167,056.
