Question

Suppose the population of deer in a state is 10,280 and is growing 1% each year. Predict the population after 5 years

Answer 1

So of your population is growing by 1%, then you need to know what 1% of 10,280 is. So 10,280 * 0.01= 102.8. To find the population in 5 years, add 5(102.8) to your starting population. Alternatively, you can just add 102.8 five times to 10,280.
