Seth Giles · Answer 1

Year 2034

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2000, 64% had one or more pets

Since decreasing at 1% per year, we can say:

In 2001, 63%

In 2002, 62%

In 2003, 61%

In 2004, 60%

And so on

To go to 30% from 60% in 2004, we would need to decrease 60 - 30 = 30%, and that will occur after 30 more years. So that would be the year

2004 + 30 = 2034

So, year 2034
