X/3,000 = 25/100
100x = 3,000x25
100x = 75,000
100x/100 = 75,000/100
X = 750

750x6 = 4,500
Every year the population goes up by 750, in 6 years the population would be 4,500 people.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase = r = 25%

n = number of years = 6

P = Current population = 3000

Population after n years = [tex]P*(1 + \frac{r}{100})^{n}[/tex]

            [tex]= 3000 * (1 +0.25)^{6}\\\\= 3000 * (1.25)^{6}\\\\= 3000 * 3.8\\\\= 11400=[/tex]
