Answer:

The population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the town was 60,000 in the beginning of 2016.

In 2016, the total population is increased by 15%.

60,000\times\frac{15}{100}=9000

Therefore the population is increased by 9000 and the population of the town at the end of 2016 was

60,000+9000=69,000

In 2017, the total population is decreased by 5%.

69,000\times\frac{5}{100}=3450

Therefore the population is decreased by 3450 and the population of the town at the end of 2017 was

69,000-3450=65,500

Therefore the population of the town at the end of 2017 was 65,550.
