The present population of a town is 3125. If the population increases at the rate of 4% every year, will the population in the next two years increase to 3380?

A. TRUE
B. FALSE

Answer :

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population of the town increases by a rate of 4%, or 0.04.

In order to find the answer, you need to multiply the population of that year by 1.04. 1.04 is used in order to add the 4% to the overall total.

At the end of the first year, the population is 3250. (3125 x 1.04)

At the end of the second year, the population is 3380. (3250 x 1.04)
