Solution
Population at the end of the year 2000 = P \[\left( 1 + \frac{R_1}{100} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{R_2}{100} \right)\]
\[ = 72, 000\left( 1 + \frac{7}{100} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{10}{100} \right)\]
\[ = 72, 000\left( 1 . 07 \right)\left( 0 . 9 \right)\]
\[ = 69, 336\]
Thus, the population at the end of the year 2000 was 69, 336.
