Question

The population of a town was 48600. It increased by 25% in the first year and decreased by 8% in the second year.

Answer 1

Answer:

Final population is 55890

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase by 25%  <=> multiply by ( 1 + 0.25 ) = 1.25

Decrease by 8% <=> multiply by ( 1 - 0.08 ) = 0.92

So the population after increase is:

48600 × 1.25

Then after decrease, it is:

48600 × 1.25 × 0.92 = 55890

Answer 2
