Question

The population of a city in 2007 was 36000. The city’s population grew at a rate of 3 percent per year. What will be the population in 2010.

Answer 1

So since three years has passed between 2007 and 2010, that would be nine percent. So you multiply 36,000 by nine percent, which gives you: 3240. You add that to 36,000, which gives you your answer of: 39,240!

Hope this helps!
