Question

A town tracks the increases and decreases in its population. The population has decreases by 300 residents over the past 5 years. The same number of residents left each year. What was the change in the town's population each year?

Answer 1

I think the answer would be -60 (as in 60 people left each year)

Explanation:

If the population decreased by 300 over 5 years, and the same number of residents left each year, then you would divide 300 by 5, and that gives you 60.
