Question

A town’s population increases at a constant rate. In 2010 the population was 57,000

By 2012 the population had increased to 80,000 If this trend continues, predict the population in 2016.

Answer 1

126000

if from 2010 to 2012 there was an increase of 23000 that means every two years 23000 people are added then add 23000 to 80000 for four years and you will get 126000.In other words if you get 23000 divide it by two to get the amount for one year then multiply it by 8
