Question

The population of a town was 1,60,000 2yeats ago if it has increased by 3% and 5% respectively in last 2 years ,find its present population

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

now population of town increased by 3% :

= 3/100 *1,60,000 = 4800

thus total population last year = 1,64,800

population increased by 5% :

= 5/100 *1,64,800 = 8240

thus total population today = 1,64,800+8240

                                             = 1,73,040
