The population of town increase at the rate of 5% every year. If the present population of the town is 1,44,000, compute the population of the town after 3 year.

Answer 1

answer=

248832

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of present =

(1,440 ÷ 5 ) x 100

= 28800

so nxt year=

1,44,000 + 28800 =

1,72,800

so nxt to nxt year =

1,72,800 ÷ 5 + (1,72,800) =

207360

now year 3 =

207360 ÷ 5 + (207360) =

248832
