population of city increases by 10 and 15 successively in two years.find the average annual percentage increase in two years
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- starting population as 100.
when it increases,then it increement by 10.ans=110,then 10% of 100=10
Sequence-->it increements by 15.so 15% of 110=16.5
110+16.5=126.5
average=126.5-100=26.5

- let the initial population be 100.
when it inc. first by 10, then 10% of 100 is 10 therefore it becomes 110.
now since successively inc. by 15 then 15% of 110 is:16.5
therefore new amount becomes 110 + 16.5= 126.5
now initial was 100 and now we have 126.5
therefore a diff. of 26.5%

- 15% of 110=16.5
110+16.5=126.5
average=126.5-100=26.5
26.5/2=13.25 per year
the average annual percentage increase in two years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- population of a city for two years is a successive increase.
so for successive increase formula is a+b+ab/100
first year=a% and second year=b% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- we can solve it by successive % change :
10+15+((10*15)/100)=26.5% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- since calculator is allow in tcs its not a big deal to solve dis
10% i.e. 100-110 --- (1)
15% i.e. 100-115 ----(2)
multiply (1) amd (2)
10000-12650
it is 25.5% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
