Question:

The population of a town is 7500. It increases by 15% during the first year and by 8% during the second year. What will be the population after two years?

Options:

9315

9000

6815

9375

Correct Answer:

9315

Explanation:

15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\)

8% = \(\frac{2}{25}\)

New population = 7500 × \(\frac{23}{20}\) × \(\frac{27}{25}\) = 9315
