Initial population of a town is 3400 and it grows with a doubling time of 10 years what will the population be in 8 years

So in 10 years, the population will double.

8 years is just before doubling to 6800.

If you consider 10 years to be 100% of the doubling time, 8 years is 80%.

And 80 as a decimal is 80/100 = 0.8

So the answer is 0.8 * 6800, simplify.

The answer would be c.hope this .

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
