in 2001, the population in a town was 12% more than it was in 2000. if the population was 25,160 in 2002, which is 10% more than 2001, find the population in 2000

2002=25,160
2001=22,644
2000=19,926.72 (need to round to 19,926)
2001:
25,160/10=2516
25,160-2516

2000:
22,644/10=2,264.4 (10%)
2,264.4/5=452.88 (2%)
2,264.4+452.88=2717.28 (12%)
22,644-2717.28=19.926.72

What is Population?

Population typically refers to the number of people in a single area

Consider the population in 2000 is P

Population in 2001 is 12% more than it was in 2000= 1.12P

Population in 2002 is 10% more than it was in 2001 = 1.10(1.12P)

Population in 2002 =25160

Therefore,

1.10(1.12P)=25160

1.123P=25160

P≅20422

Hence, the population in 2000 is 20422
