Answer 1

6,072

Explanation:

5,600 - 4,420 = 1,180

They gained 1,180 people over 5 years. Now we need to find how many people they gain every year (roughly).

Since it's 5 years, we are going to divide.

1,180 / 5 = 236

They gained 236 people over 1 year. Since 1998 is two years is before 2000, we're going to multiply 236 by 2.

236 x 2 = 472

Now we add this to the 1998 population.

5,600 + 472 - 6,072

The population in the year 2,000 is 6,072
