✪ Question ✪
The population of a town has increased by 4% in one year. Last year its population was 20325. Find the population of town.
✪ Given ✪
- The population of a town has increased by 4% in one year.
- Last year its population was 20325.
✪ To find ✪
The population of the town.
✪ Solution ✪
Increase percentage = 4%
So, increase in population
= 4% of 20325
= 4/100 × 20325
= 0.04 × 20325
= 813
So, present population
= (20325 + 813)
= 21138
✪ Hence ✪
Present population = 21138
✪ Therefore ✪
The population of the town is 21138.
