Answer: The population would be a total of 8,800 people.

Step-by-step explanation: Currently speaking, a town's population is 1,100 people in total. Since it doubles every 60 years, it would double 3 times in total, because 180 / 60 equals 3. 2 x 1,100, then 2 x 2,200, and then 2x 4,400, gives you 8,800.

Have a great day! :)
