Question:

The population of a town is 8000. It increases by 10% during the first year and by 20% during the second year. What will be the population after two years?

Options:

10560

13560

15560

11560

Correct Answer:

10560

Explanation:

10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\)

20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

New population = 8000 × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{6}{5}\) = 10560
