Answer 2

Population increases by 5% every year

Last year it was 80,000

PRESENT POPULATION

Present population = 80,000 + 5% off 80,000

                                = 80,000 + 5/100 × 80,000

                                = 80,000 + 5 × 800

                                = 80,000 + 4,000

                                = 84,000

AFTER ONE YEAR

After this , the population again increases by 5%

Population = 84,000 + 5% off 84,000

                  = 84,000 + 5/100 × 84,000

                  = 84,000 + 5 × 840

                  = 84,000 + 4,200

                  = 88,200

ANSWERS

The population of present year is 84,000

After one year , the population becomes 88,200

Hope it helps :-)
