Question

The population in England goes up by 1/5 every year. If the population was £20mil in 2008 what would be the population in 2010?

Answer 1

1/5 = 20%

20.000.000 x 20% =4.000.000 / year

from 2008 to 2010 is : 2 years

So the population in 2010 is : 20.000.000 + ( 4.000.000 x 2 ) = 28.000.000 population
