If there are 500 people living in a town and the population increses by 10% yearly, what would be the population in 5 years from now?
this is time, guys
time can be tricky, so always use 2 strategies just in case
if you mean just 10% of 500 every year:
times .1 by 500=50
then do 500+50+50+50+50+50=750
for strategy #1, that would be 750 peeps by 5 years
if you mean 10% of every years polulation
it's 110% of 500, equaling 550
times 550 * 1.1=605
then, 605*1.1=665.5
then 665.5*1.1=732.05
then time that by 1.1, equals: 805.255
however, people arent cut into pieces, so we round it to the nearest whole, and loooks like we cant round
for method 2 overall, there would by 805 peeps by 5 years
bam! done!
