Question

the population of a town is 64000. it increases by 10% during the first year. during the second year, it decreases by 25% and increased by 5% during the third year. what is the population after 3 years?

Answer 1

55440

Explanation:

10% increase=10/100×64000=64000+6400=70400

25% decrease=25/100×70400=70400-17600=52800

5% increase=5/100×52800=52800+2640=55440

therefore the population after three years will be 55440
