The number of babies born in \(2005\) is given as \(102\)
From then on we see a series of increasing and decreasing percents of the babies born for the subsequent years up until \(2009\)
The number of babies born in \(2009\) is given by
\(102 \times (1 - \frac{8.8}{100})(1 + \frac{7.5}{100})(1 + \frac{2}{100})(1- \frac{4.9}{100})\)
\(102(0.951) = 97 \text{ babies } \)
