7) A doctor's office did an audit on its paper usage. In an
effort to help the environment and reduce overhead cost, the
office wants to cut the amount of paper usage in half over
the next three years. They currently use 2250 reams of
paper per year.
Write an exponential equation to model the situation described.
How long will it take for the office staff to reduce their paper
usage to 2000 reams per year?
If the audit was completed in 2013 and the company could
realistically continue cutting their paper usage in half every
three years, how much paper will they be using in 2021.
