Question

Kensington had 8,799 people before it became a stop on the railroad. Now, there are 59 more people living there. How many people live in Kensington now?

Answer 1

To find the current population of Kensington, you need to add the increase in population to the original population. The original population was 8,799, and the increase is 59.

So, the calculation is:

8,799 + 59 = 8,858

Therefore, there are 8,858 people living in Kensington now.
