Question

Two years ago,the population of a village was 16000.If the rate of population growth of that village is 5%,what is the population at present?Find it

Answer 1

Answer: 17600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Population 2 years back = 16000

Rate = 5%

Rate Percent * Population = Rate of Increase

$\frac{5}{100} * 16000$

= 800

If every year population of village increase by 800 people then,

After 2 years = 800 * 2

=1600

Total population = 16000 + 1600

= 17600
