Answer 1

The population of a town increases every year by 4%. If its present population is 50,000, then after 2 years it will be 54080..

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer would be 54000

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 0.04 which is 4% times 50,000 it = 2,000 so each year the population goes up by 2,000 and so you would do 50,000+2,000+2,000=54,000
