Question

The population of a city was 30,000 in the year 2000. It increased at the rate of 5% per annum. Find the population at the end of 2002?

Answer 1

Answer:

population of city in 2000 : 30000

increase of the rate per annual : 5%

population in 2001 : 5/100×30000 = 1500

30000 + 1500 = 31500

population in 2002 : 5/100×31500 = 1575

31500 + 1575 = 33075

SO,

POPULATION IN 2002 = 33075
