Answer 2

Answer:

Population in next year will be $120435$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : % increase in population = $5$%

          Present population = $114700$

To find : What will be its population next year?​

Solution :  

• It is given that the % increase in population = $5$%

          Present population = $114700$

• We have to find the population in next year.
• To find the population in next year, we have to find $5$% of present population.

     Increase in population = $5$% of present population

                                      = $\frac{5}{100} *114700$

                                      = $5735$

• Now,

   Population in next year = Present population + % increase in population

                                     = $114700+5735$

                                     = $120435$

• ∴ Population in next year will be $120435$.
