Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a population of a town increases by 10% every year and the current population is 5,000, what will be the population after one year?
Correct Answer: 5500
  • Step 1: Identify the current population, which is 5,000.
  • Step 2: Calculate 10% of the current population. To do this, multiply 5,000 by 0.1 (which is 10% in decimal form).
  • Step 3: Perform the multiplication: 0.1 * 5,000 = 500.
  • Step 4: Add the increase (500) to the current population (5,000).
  • Step 5: Perform the addition: 5,000 + 500 = 5,500.
  • Step 6: The population after one year will be 5,500.
