Question

The population of a town increases at the rate of 3% annually. The population is currently 2,500.
What will be the population of the town at the same time next year?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Current population = 2500

Increase rate = 3%

So, 3% of 2500 = 3/100 × 2500 = 75

So, the population next year

= 2500 + 75

= 2575

Hence, the population of the town at the same time next year will be 2575.
