Question

A town's population has grown by 3,000 people in the past 6 years. What is the town's average population growth rate per year

Answer 1

To find the town's average population growth rate per year, we divide the total population growth by the number of years:

Average population growth rate = Total population growth / Number of years

In this case, the total population growth is 3,000 people and the number of years is 6.

Average population growth rate = 3,000 / 6 = 500 people per year

Therefore, the town's average population growth rate per year is 500 people.
