Step-by-step explanation:
The population of the town = 20000
Rate of increase in the population = 5%
Number of years = 3
We can calculate this by using the formula
A = P(1+ r/100)n = 20000(1+ (5/100))3
= 20000(1 + 0.05)3
= 20000(1.05)3
= 20000(1.157625)
= 23,152.5
We consider the estimated population to be 23,153.
Thus, the population of the city after 3 years will be 23,153.
