Q. The depth of a lake in Georgetown changes over time due to rainfall and evaporation. A few months ago, the depth was

1,000

feet. Currently, the lake is

2\%

less deep. What is this year's depth?

\newline

\_\_\_\_\_

feet

Calculate Decrease Depth: Calculate the amount of decrease in the lake's depth due to the $2\%$ reduction. $\newline$ Calculation: $2\%$ of $1,000$ feet = $(2/100) \times 1000 = 20$ feet.
Subtract from Original Depth: Subtract the decrease from the original depth to find the current depth. $\newline$ Calculation: $1000 \text{ feet} - 20 \text{ feet} = 980 \text{ feet}.$
