Answer:
The decay factor would be 0.00578.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the initial value,
Then after decreasing the value by 15 %,
New value = x - 15% of x = [tex]x-\frac{15x}{100}[/tex] = x - 0.15x = 0.85x,
Again decreasing by 32%,
New value = 0.85x - 32% of 0.85x = 0.85x - 0.32 × 0.85x = 0.578x,
Finally decreasing by 99%,
Final value = 0.578x - 99% of 0.578x = 0.578x - 0.99 × 0.578x = 0.00578x,
Since, the value of x is decreased by multiplying with 0.00578,
Hence, the decay factor would be 0.00578.
