Question
Each year, the population of a village rises by 8%. If
after 2 years the population will reach 34,992, what is the population now?Solution
ATQ,
Let, the current population be ‘x’.
ATQ,
Population after 2 years = 1.08 × 1.08 × x = 34992
Or, x = 34992 × (1/1.08) × (1/1.08)
So, x = 30,000
Therefore, current population = x = 30,000
