Respuesta :
The predicted population in 2016 following the constant rate of population increase will be 1,30,000.
We have,
A town’s population increases at a constant rate,
And,
The population of town in 2010 = 55,000
And,
The population of town in 2012 = 80,000
So,
Now,
The total increase in the population of the town from 2010 to 2012 = 80,000 - 55,000 = 25,000
Now,
According to the question,
Population increases at a constant rate,
i.e.
Rate of Population increases from 2010 to 2012 = [tex]\frac{25000}{2}[/tex] = 12,500
So,
Now,
The population in 2016 after 2012 = 80,000 + 4 × 12,500
i.e.
On solving we get,
The population in 2016 after 2012 = 1,30,000
Hence we can say that the predicted population in 2016 following the constant rate of population increase will be 1,30,000.
