Question

1.
The population of a town is increasing at the rate of 8% per annum. What will
the population of the town after two years if the present population is 12,500​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Present population=12500

Increase in the first year

=12500+8%of 12500

=12500 + (8/100) x 12500

=12500+8 x 125

=12500 + 1000

=13500

Increase in the second year

=13500+8%of 13500

=13500 + (8/100) x 13500

=12500+8 x 135

=12500 + 1080

=14580

Therefore population after 2 years= 14580
