Question

At town has a population of 17000 and grows at 4% every year. What will be the population after 12 years, to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

25,160

Explanation:

17,000 x 0.04 = 680

Town gains 680 people every year.

After 12 years, town will have 25,160 people.

This could also be wrong because it may be 4%+ the added people from the previous number. However, I think it is 25,160.
