Question

An island has a popularity of 1500 and is growing at a rate of 3% per year. what will the popularity be after 6 years?

Ans:1791​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Growth in population each year = 3%(1500)

= 3/100 × 1500

= 3 × 15

= 45

Therefore, the growth in population in 6 years

= 6 × 3%(1500)

= 6 × 45

= 270

Hence, the population after 6 years = 1500 + 270

= 1770
