Identify initial amount and percentage: Identify the initial amount and the percentage decrease per year.Initial amount a = $790,000Percentage decrease per year r = 11%
Calculate remaining percentage: Calculate the percentage that remains in the fund each year.Remaining percentage each year = 100%−11%=89%Convert this to decimal form for calculation: 0.89
Use exponential decay formula: Use the formula for exponential decay to find the amount after 10 years.Formula: Final amount = Initial amount × (Remaining percentage each year)number of years
Plug in values and calculate: Plug in the values and calculate the final amount.Final amount = $790,000×(0.89)10
Calculate power of 0.8910: Calculate the power of 0.8910. 0.8910≈0.3138 (using a calculator)
Multiply initial amount by power: Multiply the initial amount by the calculated power to get the final amount.Final amount = $790,000×0.3138
Perform multiplication to find final amount: Perform the multiplication to find the final amount. Final amount ≈$247,902
