Question

Suppose a city with population 100,000 has been growing at a rate of ​8% per year. If this rate​ continues, find the population of this city in 11 years.

Answer 1

188,000-

First, you have to find what 8 percent of 100,000 is. In order to do this, multiply 100,000 by 0.08. You get 8,000.

Then, you multiply 8,000 by 11. You get 88,000.

Now all that’s left to do is add 88,000 to 100,000, and you get 188,000.

Hope that helped.
