Question

The population of a town was 50000 initially .It increased at 5% for a year and then decreased by 4% the next year.What is the population at the end of the two years?

Answer 1

Hello John

 

First year

50,000 + (50,000 x 5%)

50,000 + 2,500 = 52,500

 

Second year

52,500 - (52,500 x 4%)

52,500 - 2,100 = 50,400
