Question

The population of a school is 800 students and is increasing at a rate of 2%per year.

Answer 1

Answer: Increases by 16 students per year

Explanation:

100% = 800

2% = x

So between 100% and 2%, the scale factor would be 50 since 100 / 2 = 50

Then 800 / 50 would be 16

So..

1 Year = 816 students

2 Years = 832 students

3 Years = 848 students

4 Years = 864

And so on..
