Answer: The answer is 449100 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the weight of an iceberg is 450,000 pounds. It looses 0.2% of weight everyday. We are to find the new weight of the iceberg at the end of the day.
Weight lost by the iceberg in one day will be
[tex] w_l=0.2\%\times 450000=\dfrac{0.2}{100}\times 450000=900~\textup{pounds}.[/tex]
Therefore, the new weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be
[tex]W_n=450000-w_l=450000-900=449100~\textup{pounds}.[/tex]
Thus, the answer is 449100 pounds.
