Question

The population of a town in 2004 was 250000 it increases the following year by 5% but in 2006 in decreased by 2% find the population at the end of the year 2006

Answer 1

Answer:

257300

Step-by-step explanation:

population in 2004 = 250000

population in 2005 incresed = 5%

that is = (250000×5)/100= 12500

total population in 2005 = 250000 + 12500

=262500

population in 2006 is decreased by 2% of total population in 2005

so

(262500×2)/100 = 5200

as mentioned above it is decreased so we have to minus it from total population in 2005

that is 262500 - 5200 = 257300

Answer 2

population in 2004 = 250000

population in 2005 incresed = 5%

that is = (250000×5)/100= 12500

total population in 2005 = 250000 + 12500

=262500

population in 2006 is decreased by 2% of total population in 2005

so

(262500×2)/100 = 5200

as mentioned above it is decreased so we have to minus it from total population in 2005

that is 262500 - 5200 = 230057 = Answer
