The population in a village was 5400 last year and has grown by 4% this year. What is the present population?

a.
5616

b.
5400

c.
5184

Answer 1

To calculate the present population after a 4% growth, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Present Population} = \text{Last Year Population} \times (1 + \text{Growth Rate})
\]

Where:
- Last Year Population = 5400
- Growth Rate = 4% = 0.04

Using the formula:

\[
\text{Present Population} = 5400 \times (1 + 0.04) = 5400 \times 1.04 = 5616
\]

So the present population is **5616**.

The correct answer is:

**a. 5616**
