Question

In 2010, the population of a city was 158,000. From 2010 to 2015, the population grew by 5%. From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 3%. How much did the population decrease from 2015 to 2020, to the nearest 100 people?

Answer 1

Answer:

5000 (to the nearest 100)

Step-by-step explanation:

158000 * 5% = 7900

158000 + 7900 = 165900

165900 * 3% = 4977

165900 - 4977 = 160923
