In 2010, the population of a city was 108,000. From 2010 to 2015, the
population grew by 7.7%. From 2015 to 2020, it fell by 6.1%. To the nearest
100 people, what was the population in 2020?

Respuesta :

Answer:

109,200 people


Step-by-step explanation:

First change all the percentages into decimals. Then multiply 108,000 by 1.077, because it is 7.7% of the population, while also including the original population. The product of this is 116,316. Then, if you want to find the percent decrease, it would be something out of 100, so 100-6.1=93.9. Changing that into decimal form, 0.939, and multiplying it by 116,316, you get 109,220, which rounds to 109,200.
