A towns population has grown by 3000 people in the past 6 years. What is the towns average population growth rate per year?

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the town's population has grown by 3000 people in 6 years.

Population growth rate per year = 3000 people / 6 years = 500 people/year

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