What will be the population of a city with an initial population of 20,000 after 3 years if it increases by 5 every year?

To calculate the population of the city after 3 years, we start with the initial population and then account for the annual increase over the specified period.

The initial population of the city is 20,000.

Each year, the population increases by 5 people. Therefore, over 3 years, the total increase can be calculated as follows:

  • Annual Increase: 5 people/year
  • Number of Years: 3
  • Total Increase = Annual Increase × Number of Years = 5 × 3 = 15

Now, we will add the total increase to the initial population:

  • Population after 3 years = Initial Population + Total Increase
  • Population after 3 years = 20,000 + 15 = 20,015

Therefore, the population of the city after 3 years will be 20,015 people.
