Question

If a town with a population of 500 doubles in size every 80 years, what will the population be 160 years from now?

Answer 1

Answer: 2000

Explanation:

From the information, we are informed that a population of 500 doubles in size every 80 years. Therefore, the population in 160 years will have doubled twice i.e 160/80 = 2 times

First time doubling = 500 × 2 = 1000

Second time doubling = 1000 × 2 = 2000
