Answer 1

1. The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum

o find the population in 2001.

(ii) what would be its population in 2005?

Answer 2

Answer:

I. population in 2001 = 48,980

ii. Population in 2005 = 59535

Step-by-step explanation:

i. Let, population in 2001 be x

So, X* (1 + 5/100) ^2 = 54000

0r, X* 105/100 * 105/100 = 54000

or, X = 54000 * 100/105 * 100/105

0r, X = 48979.59

Therefore X = 48980 (almost)

ii. In 2005 population will be

= 54000(1+ 5/100)^2 = 59535
