The population of a town increases by 4 % every year . In the last year the population of the town was 110000. Find the present population of the town . Find the population of the town in the next year.

114400

Explanation:

Step 1. Find 4% of 110000.

To do this I would find 10%, by getting rid of a zero. This makes 10% of 110000= 11000

5% is equal to half of 10%

So 5%= 5500

1%= 10% with a zero knocked off.

So 1%= 1100

So 4% = 5% - 1%

=5500-1100

=4400

4%=4400

New population= 110000+4400

=114400
