Question

A city has a population of 380000 people. Suppose that each year the population grows by 6. What will be the population after 5 years?

1) 380030
2) 380035
3) 380040
4) 380045

Answer 1

The population of a city with an initial population of 380,000 and an annual increase of 6 people will be 380030 after 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the population growth of a city with an initial population of 380,000 people and a yearly increase of 6 people. To calculate the population after 5 years, we add the yearly increase to the initial population for each of the 5 years:

1. Year 1: 380000 + 6 = 380006
2. Year 2: 380006 + 6 = 380012
3. Year 3: 380012 + 6 = 380018
4. Year 4: 380018 + 6 = 380024
5. Year 5: 380024 + 6 = 380030

Therefore, the population of the city after 5 years would be 380030 people.
