Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Initial population = 189000
Decrease in 1st year = 8%
Increase in 2nd year = 5%
Formula used:
Population after 2 years = Initial population × (1 - 8/100) × (1 + 5/100)
Calculation:
⇒ Population = 189000 × (92/100) × (105/100)
⇒ Population = 189000 × 0.92 × 1.05
⇒ Population = 189000 × 0.966
⇒ Population = 182574
∴ Population at the end of 2 years = 182574
