A town population decreae each year by about 1%. If the town population i 3000 now, what will the population be in 5 year?

Sagot :

Since, the population decreases each year by 1%, then after 5 years there will be 2850 people less.

Given in the Question:

Population rate decreases at 1% every year

current population of town = 3000

Now,

Multiplying decrease rate with current population, we get:

3000× 1% = 30

Since, each year there are 30 people less in the town,

then after 05 years = 30 × 5  

                                = 150 people.

Therefore, If the population is 3000 now , the population after 5 yeras is:

  3000 - 150 people

=  2850 people
