The population of a town is 9700. It increases by 20% during the first year and by 15% during the second year. What will be the population after two years? |
13000 15765 13386 12450 |
13386 |
20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\) 15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\) New population = 9700 × \(\frac{6}{5}\) × \(\frac{23}{20}\) = 13386 |
