The current student population of Seattle is 2000. Of the population increased at a rate of 9.3% each year. What will the student population be in 3 years

Answer 1

To find the student population in 3 years, we need to calculate 9.3% of the current population and add it to the current population each year.
First, we calculate the increase in population for each year:
Year 1: 9.3% of 2000 = 0.093 * 2000 = 186
Year 2: 9.3% of (2000 + 186) = 0.093 * 2186 = 203.238
Year 3: 9.3% of (2186 + 203.238) = 0.093 * 2389.238 = 222.285

Finally, we add the increases to the current population to find the population in 3 years:
2000 + 186 + 203.238 + 222.285 = 2611.523

Therefore, the student population in Seattle will be approximately 2612 in 3 years.
