Without the information provided in part b, it is not possible to calculate the estimated current population of Concord.
Choose one of these towns. Use the second and third columns to write two
expressions showing the current estimated population of the town in terms of
x, y, or z.
b. Add a fourth row to the table showing the population information for the town
of Concord. Concord’s population as of the last census was p people; for its
percentage change, choose a negative integer not divisible by two. Write two
expressions showing the current estimated population of Concord in terms of p.
c. Choose a number greater than 5,000 and less than 10,000 for the value of p.

To calculate the estimated current population of the town of Concord, let's assign "p" as the population as of the last census and choose a negative percentage change that is not divisible by two.

Let's assume the population of Concord as of the last census was "p" people.

Two expressions showing the current estimated population of Concord in terms of p can be:

1. Using a negative percentage change of -5.3%:

p - (0.053 * p)

Explanation: This expression subtracts the negative percentage change (0.053 * p) from the population (p) to estimate the current population of Concord.

2. Using a negative percentage change of -7.9%:

p * (1 - 0.079)

Explanation: This expression multiplies the population (p) by (1 - 0.079) to estimate the current population of Concord after a negative percentage change.

To calculate the estimated current population of Concord, we need to choose a specific value for "p" between 5,000 and 10,000. Let's assume p = 7,500.

Using the expression from example 1:

Estimated population = 7,500 - (0.053 * 7,500) = 7,500 - 397.5 ≈ 7,103

Using the expression from example 2:

Estimated population = 7,500 * (1 - 0.079) = 7,500 * 0.921 ≈ 6,907

Rounding the estimated population to the nearest whole number, the approximate current population of Concord is either 7,103 or 6,907.
