Question

a city has a population of 360000 people. suppose that each year the population Grows by 3%. What will the population be after 6 years

Answer 1

to find the 3%, you have to multiply 360,000 by 0.03, which is 10,800. then just add 10,800 to 360,000 six times, making sure that the amount is cumulative. so, after two years the population will be 370,800, after 3 it’ll be 381,600. after six years i think the answer will be 413,400.
