Question

g Statesville population in 2010 was about 24,700, and was growing by about 1% each year. If this continues, what will Statesville population be in 2018? [Round to the nearest person.]

Answer 1

Answer:

26,676population

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in 2010 = 24,700

If it grows yearly by 1%, increment per year is expressed as:

1% of 24,700

= 1/100×24700

= 247 populations

After 8years, population increase will be 247×8 = 1976 population

Statesville population in 2018 will be expressed as;

Population in 2010+increase after 8years

= 24700+1976

= 26,676 population

Hence statesville population in 2018 will be 26,676population
