Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
f(n)=100(0.25)^n
Comparing the function with
y = a(1 – r)^t
From. The equation, r = rate
Comparing with the value in bracket in the question given :
1 – r = 0.25
1 – 0.25 = r
0.75 = r
Hence, r = 0.75
As a percentage, rate = 0.75 * 100% = 75%
Hence, the rate of change is 75%
