Q
Q: If the population of a town increases by 10% every year, what will be the population after 2 years if the current population is 1000? (2021)
Solution: Population after 1 year = 1000 * 1.10 = 1100. Population after 2 years = 1100 * 1.10 = 1210.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Start with the current population, which is 1000.
Step 2: Calculate the population after 1 year by multiplying the current population by 1.10 (which represents a 10% increase). So, 1000 * 1.10 = 1100.
Step 3: Now, take the population after 1 year, which is 1100, and calculate the population after 2 years by again multiplying by 1.10. So, 1100 * 1.10 = 1210.
Step 4: The final population after 2 years is 1210.
