Question

The population of a city increases by a rate of 3% a year. In 2000 the population was at 250,000.

A. Write an equation to model the scenario.
B. What was the population in 2010?

Answer 1

Answer: 325000

Explanation:

In 2000 the population was 250,000 and it would grow 3 percent a year which is 7500 so that means we add 75000 since 7500 X 10 = 75000 so we add it which gives us 325000 in 2010.
