Question

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)

Answer 1

To find the average population growth rate per year, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Average Growth Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Growth}}{\text{Number of Years}} \]

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

\[ \text{Average Growth Rate} = \frac{3000}{6} = 500 \]

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