Question

Exceeding:

The population of a city has been growing at a
rate of 5000 people per year since 2010. If the
population was 110000 in 2010, what is the
population of the city in 2023?

Answer 1

Answer: 175,000 people

Explanation:

The population of the city in 2023 can be calculated by adding the annual growth rate to the population in 2010 for each year from 2010 to 2023.

First, let's find out how many years have passed between 2010 and 2023. To do this, subtract 2010 from 2023:

2023 - 2010 = 13 years

Since the population has been growing at a rate of 5000 people per year, we can multiply the growth rate by the number of years to find the total population increase:

5000 * 13 = 65000

Now, we can find the population of the city in 2023 by adding the population in 2010 to the population increase:

110000 + 65000 = 175000

Therefore, the population of the city in 2023 is 175,000 people.
