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)

1 answer

To find the average population growth rate per year, we need to divide the total population growth by the number of years.

Population growth per year = Total population growth / Number of years

In this case, the total population growth is 3,000 people and the number of years is 6.

Population growth per year = 3,000 / 6

Population growth per year = 500

Therefore, the town's average population growth rate per year is 500 people.
