Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Population increases by 50% from 2019 to 2020
Population increases by 40% from 2020 to 2021
Formula used:
Population growth = Base × (1 + % increase)
Required % = (Final value / Initial value) × 100
Calculations:
Let population at end of 2019 = 100
Population at end of 2020 = 100 × (1 + 50/100) = 100 × 1.5 = 150
Population at end of 2021 = 150 × (1 + 40/100) = 150 × 1.4 = 210
Required % = (210 / 100) × 100 = 210%
∴ The population in 2021 is 210% of the population at the end of 2019.
