use simple interest so you can find your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

224825

Step-by-step explanation:

The present population is the population of 1 year ago times 100 percent+8 percent=108 percent.

So, basically the present population is 108 percent of the population 1 year ago.

262236/108 percent is the population one year ago.

108 percent is just 108 over 100.

So,

262236/108 over 100

=262236*100 over 108

=242811.1111...

=242811(round off)

Similarly, 242811*100 over 108 is the population two years ago

242811*100 over 108=224825 (Answer)
