The population of a place increased to 54,000 in 2003 at a rate of 5% per annum
i) Find the population in 2001.
ii) What would be its population in 2005
iii) Write any two effects of high populations
Given that:
Population in 2003=54,000, Increasing rate =5
i) Population in 2001=54000−54000×5×2100 [Since Gap=2 year]=54000−5400
=48,600.
ii) Population in 2005=54000+54000×5×2100 [Since Gap=2 year]
