Answer:

169,000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

increase from 2010-2015:

168000/100 = 1680 = 1%

1680 x 7 = 11,760 people

population at 2015 = 168000+11760 = 179,760

decrease from 2015-2020:

179760/100 = 1797.6 = 1%

1797.6 x 6 = 10,785.6 people

population at 2020 = 179760-10787.6 = 168,974.4 people

rounded to the nearest 100 = 169,000 people
