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?(1 point)
people/year

Answer 1

To find the average population growth rate per year, we divide the total population growth (3,000 people) by the number of years (6 years).

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

Average population growth rate per year = 3,000 people / 6 years = 500 people/year. Answer: \boxed{500}.
