The population of a city is expected to increase by 7.5% next year. If p represents the current popultion, which expression represents the expected populations next year?

Respuesta :

Answer: P = Po ( 1 + 0.075)

Step-by-step explanation: let Po = initial population

P = final population.

The increase in population is by 7.5%, which implies that if the initial population Increases by 7.5%, we would have a new (current) population.

Final population = initial population + increament of initial population.

Where increment of initial population = 7.5% of Po = 0.075 Po

P = Po + 0.075Po

P = Po ( 1 + 0.075)
