Answer: 68096.52; rounded to 68097

Explanation:

64242 x 2/100 (because 2% = 0.02 = 2/100) = 1284.84

So the population of Oak is increasing at a rate of 1284.84 people per year.

But in three years?

1284.84 x 3 = 3854.52.

64242 + 3854.52 = 68096.52.

The population in three years will be 68096.52
