To find the average number of people the town will grow by in 5 years, we divide the total growth in population in the last 2 years (600 people) by 2 to find the average growth per year. Then we can multiply this average growth per year by 5 to find the growth in 5 years.
Average growth per year = 600 people / 2 years = 300 people/year
Growth in 5 years = Average growth per year * 5 years = 300 people/year * 5 years = 1500 people
Therefore, the town will grow by 1,500 people in 5 years.
Average growth per year = 600 people / 2 years = 300 people/year
Growth in 5 years = Average growth per year * 5 years = 300 people/year * 5 years = 1500 people
Therefore, the town will grow by 1,500 people in 5 years.
