Question

The population of the village was 35,960 at the beginning of the year. The increase in population this year is expected to be 10%. What is the population expected to be at the beginning of next year?

Answer 1

the new population of the village at beginning of second year= 39556

Answer 2

Present population = 35,960
If the population increases by 10%,
Increase in population = 10 % of 35960
= 10/100 × 35960
= 3596 people
So, total number of people after increase = 35960 + 3596 = 39556
