A bacteria population starts at 2,032 and decreases at about 15% per day. Write a function representing the number of bacteria present each day. After how many days will there be fewer than 321 bacteria?
Can you help me with this one too?

take 2032 and multiply it by .15. take the answer of that problem(304.8) and subtract it from your original number( the answer-1727.2). then, you repeat with 1727.2.
muliply 1727.2 by .15 and subtract that answer from 1727.2 ect ect ect

you take 2032 and divid it by .15 this will give the amount it decresses per day. Continue to subtract this amount from 2032 untill you reach a number lower than 321. Hope i helped!
