Question

A population of 120,000 grows 3% per year for 15 years, how much will the population be after 15 years?

Answer 1

270,000 is the answer because you have three over 100 so you do 100 divided by three which give you 0.15 then you do 120,000 times 0.15 to find out how much it grows per year to get 18,000 then you multiply 18’000 by 15 and get 270’000
