Question

The population of a town was 110500. In one year it increased by 3608 due to new births. However, 8973 persons died or left the town during the year. What was the population at the end of the year?

Answer 1

Population of the town = 110500
Increased population = 110500 + 3608 = 114108
Number of persons who died or left the town = 8973
Population at the end of the year = 114108 − 8973 = 105135
∴ The population at the end of the year will be 105135.
