The population of a town increases by 5% the final year and by 7% during second year. At the end of second year the population was 40446. What was the population at the beginning?

Answer 1

Answer:

35734.041

Step-by-step explanation:

at the end of second year population was 40446

The 7% of 40446 is 2831.22

40446-2831.22=37614.78

37614.78 is the 5% increased population at the beginning

Therefor,

5% of 37614.78 is 1880.739

37614.78-1880.739= 35734.041
