In 1895 the population of a small town was 2120.

Question

By 1905 the population increased to 115% of the 1895 figure.

What is the population in 1905

Answer 1

To find the population in 1905, we need to calculate 115% of the population in 1895.

115% of a number is found by multiplying the number by (115/100).

115/100 = 1.15

Calculating the population in 1905:
Population in 1905 = 2120 * 1.15 = 2438

Therefore, the population in 1905 is 2438.
