Question

In 2010, the population of some country was 1,300,000 people. From 2010 to 2050, the population is expected to increase by 60%. Find the expected population of the country in 2050.

The population of the country in 2050 is expected to be _____ people.

Answer 1

10% of 1,300,000 is 130,000
60% = 6 x 10% = 130,000 x 6 = 780,000
Exp population is 1,300,000 + 780,000 = 2,080,000 :)
