A viral video had 100,000 views on the first day. Each day, the number of views is 60% of the previous day. How many views will the video receive on the fourth day?
21,600
O36,000
O 12,960
O60,000



Answer :

To find the number of views the video will receive on the fourth day, we can use the information given about the views decreasing by 60% each day from the previous day's total. 1. The number of views on the first day is 100,000. 2. To calculate the number of views on the second day, we need to find 60% of the views from the first day: - 60% of 100,000 = 0.60 x 100,000 = 60,000 views on the second day. 3. For the third day, we repeat the process: - 60% of 60,000 = 0.60 x 60,000 = 36,000 views on the third day. 4. Finally, for the fourth day, we apply the same calculation: - 60% of 36,000 = 0.60 x 36,000 = 21,600 views on the fourth day. Therefore, the video will receive 21,600 views on the fourth day. The correct answer is 21,600.
