Question

The population of town is 64000. It increases by 10% during the first year. During the second year,it decreases by 25% and increased by 5% during the third year. What is the population after 3 yrs

Answer 1

64,000*0.10=6,400 so 64,000+6,400= 70,400 then second year decrease by 25% so 70,400*0.25= 17,600 next step is to subtract 70,400-17,600=52,800 then it suddenly increases by 5% so 52,800*0.05=2,640 so lastly 52,800+2,640=55,440
