+51 Or... Another way to solve it is this, we can make an equation.
We know that the cheetah population is decreasing by 10% each year so each year it will be (100-10)% = (90% = 0.9) of the amount of cheetah's the previous year. Since it is going on for 11 years it's exponential.
1750 * (0.9)^11
= 549.17
Rounding to the nearest integer we get 549 cheetahs.
Answer:
About 549 cheetahs
