The population of Jalicia City was 24,000 people
in 2010 and was increasing at a rate of 4% per
year. What would the prediction be for the
population in 2013?

It might be a little tedious, but i think the easiest to understand is this way

first find what 4% of 24000 is. you can do this by simply multiplying 24000 by .04 which is 960. the new population for 2011 is 24960, and you again find what 4% of it is. Which is 998 people. In 2012, there will be 25958 people. Find 4% of that which is 1038 people. add it to 25958 & you get 26996 which is the estimate for how many people there will be in 2013. Not the easiest way, but i don't remember exactly how to do these problems, but this also works

135 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

try 180 times three then divide that number by 4 (sides) to get your answer. im glad to : )
