Question

In 2010, the population of a city was 25,000. The

population increased by 20% in each of the next three
years. If this rate of increase continues, what will be the
population of the city in 2015?

Answer 1

43,200

Explanation:

25,000x .20=5,000

30,000 x .20=6,000

36,000x.20=7,200

43,200x.20=8,640

51,840x.20=10,368
