A small country emits 103,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide per year. In a recent global agreement, the country agreed to cut its carbon emissions by 1% per year for the next 10 years. In the first year of the agreement, the country will keep its emissions at 103,000 kilotons and the emissions will decrease 1% in each successive year. How many total kilotons of carbon dioxide would the country emit over the course of the 10 year period, to the nearest whole number?
