Question

The population of a town is 27,600. It is
increasing at the rate of 5% per annum. What
will be the expected increase in population of
the town in 2 years?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of population = 27, 600

Increase rate = 5 %

so,

Increased population in 1 year = 5% of 27, 600

= 1380 per year

Then,

Population increase in 2 year = 1380 × 2

= 2760

Hence,

Population after 2 years will be = 2760 + 27600 = 30360

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given as increasing at rate of 5% we have to calculate and work out for 2yrs.

Population = 27600 + (27600*5%*2).

= 27600 + 2760.( increased Amt).

=. 30360.
