Answer:

1352

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we get the percentage growth last year. This is calculated as:

(1300-1250)/1250 * 100

= 4%

Now, we are assuming the growth rate is constant. So let’s calculate a 4% growth rate for this year. That would be:

4/100 * 1,300 = 52

The population this year would thus be 1300 + 52 = 1352
