It decreased by 25% every year.
if you multiply a number by a decimal you will get a smaller number than you originally had. for example, if you multiply 95 by .75 you will get 71.25 it is decreasing but only 25%

Answer:

B. It decreased by 25% every year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Number of subscribers 'y' after 't' years is given by,

[tex]y = 95(0.75)^t[/tex]

i.e. [tex]y = 95(1-0.25)^t[/tex]

i.e. [tex]y = 95(1+(-0.25))^t[/tex]

We see that the rate of number of subscribers is -0.25 i.e. -25%.

Since, the rate is negative.

Hence, we get that the number of subscribers are decreasing 25% every year.
