Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual means once every year. And we know that we need to find the population of what the town was 3 years ago. We also know that

So, 10% times 3 = 30%.

We need to find 30% of 26,620. Here's how to do it:

30% equals 30/100 which also equals 30 ÷ 100.

30% × 26,620 =

(30 ÷ 100) × 26,620 =

(30 × 26,620) ÷ 100 =  798,600

798,600 ÷ 100 =

7,986;

I hope this helps you have a great day :)
