Question

The population of a city was 70,000. It increased by 8%. What is the population now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original no. of people = 70000

% increase = 8

no. of people increased = 8% of 70000

                                       = 8/100 *70000

                                       = 8*700

                                       = 5600 ppl .

total population now = earlier population + % increase = 70000+5600

                                   = 75600 people
