Town Population Growth
Study the line graph below. It shows a town's population from 2021 to 2025. Use it to answer the questions that follow.
If the population grows from 2025 to 2026 at the same RATE as from 2024 to 2025, what will the 2026 population be (to the nearest whole number)?
- 23,450
- 23,520
- 23,400
- 23,502
Answer
D. 23,502
Solution
2024→2025 rate = 1,050 ÷ 21,350 = 4.918%. 2026 = 22,400 × (1 + 0.04918) ≈ 23,502. (Adding the same 1,050 gives 23,450, which assumes the same AMOUNT, not rate.)
