Question

Despite control measures, the pigeon population in Winchester is increasing by 10% each year. If there are currently 9,520 pigeons, how many pigeons will there be in 13 years?

Answer 1

Answer: 21,896

Explanation: To find how many pigeons there will be in 13 years, we must recall the formula to find the percentage:

Percentage = whole amount * part percent / 100

So, let's plug in the numbers to the formula:

Percentage = 9520 * 10 / 1000

9520 * 10 = 95200

95200 / 100 = 952

So, every year, there are 952 pigeons added to the 9,520 pigeons.

Now, we must multiply the 952 by 13 (13 years)

We should get 12376

Now, finally, we add 12376 to 9520 to get 21896.
