=276000

hope this will help full to you

Answer 2

Answer:

solution

given P = 240000, r = 5% , n = 3 years

let A be the population after 3 yesrs

A = P(1+r/100)^n

substituting the values,

A = 240000(1+5/100)^3

=> 240000(105/100)^3

=> 240000 × (1.05)^3

=> 240000 × 1.157625

=> 2,77,830 Answer

therefore population after 3 years is 2,77,830
