Answer: 8100 people

Explanation:

2010 -> 101000 people

2015 -> Grew by 8%

100% represents 101000 people

108% represents (108/100 x 101000) people

108% represents 109080 people

Difference in the number of people = (109080 - 101000) people

= 8080 people

= 8100 people (nearest hundred people)
