Question

Suppose the deer population in a region is expected to increase by 6% in the next year. If there are currently 11,650 deer living in the region, approximately how many will be living there a year from now?

Answer 1

12,349 deers

Step-by-step explanation:

Present population size of deer = 11,650

Expected percentage increase in population size by next year = 6%

6% of 11,650 = 6/100 x 11,650

= 699

Adding this to the present population: 11,650 + 699 = 12,349.

Hence, the total number of deer expected to be living in the population a year from now (that is, next year) is 12,349 deers.
