Question

the deer population in a local neighborhood is rising at a rate of 3.5% each year the Parks and Recreation Department estimated the current deer population to be approximately 850 deer

Answer 1

The number of deer that is going to be added in the current year is approximately 30.

The total approximated population of dear in the current year is 850.

To compute:

3.5% ÷ 100 = 0.035

Multiply it by 850.

850 × 0.035 = 29.75 ; but since there is no 0.75 deer, it is then rounded off to 30.

Have a nice day!
