Question

The population of deer in a protected area is 225.
If the population increases at a rate of 24% per year, how many deer will be in the area next year?

Answer 1

24% of 225 is 54, so you do 225+54=279 so 279 is the correct answer :)

Answer 2

The population of deer in the area next year will increase from that of the previous year by 24%. Hence, the number of deer in the area will be 279

The initial population of deer = 225

The percentage increase in deer population = 24 %

The amount of deer in the area the following year can be calculated thus :

• (1 + 24%) × initial population value

(1 + 0.24) × 225

1.24 × 225 = 279

Therefore, the population of deer in the population the following year would be 279
