Question

A town has a population of 7000 and grows at 4% every year. What will be the population after 13 years, to the nearest whole number? ​

Answer 1

7,000 (population) x .04 (percentage grown per year) = 10,640

Answer 2

10640

Explanation:

Increased population after 13 years = current population * rate of increase * number of year

= 7000 * 0.04 * 13

= 3640

Population after 13 years = 7000 + 3640 = 10640
