Question

A city has a population of 380,000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 6.25 % . What will the population be after 8 years? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

570,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the % to decimal.

0.0625 = 6.25%

Now find how much 6.25% of 380,000 is.

0.0625 x 380,000 = 23,750

so The population increases by 23,750 people each year. but we need 8 years, so...

23,750 x 8 = 190,000

Now add that to the current population..

380,000 + 190,000 = 570,000

570,000
