Answer 1

Answer:

Population 2010= 276

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Population 2000= 200

It increased by 20% from 2000 to 2005.

It then increased by 15% from 2005 to 2010.

First, we need to calculate the population in 2005:

Population 2005= 200*1.2

Population 2005= 240

Now, for 2010:

Population 2010= 240*1.15

Population 2010= 276
