Answer:
5250 deer
Explanation:
We know that the deer population increases by 5% each year. This means That if we start with a population of 5000, then next year the population will be 100% + 5% = 105% of 5000.
Now, what is 105% of 5000?
The answer is
[tex]5000\times\frac{105\%}{100\%}[/tex][tex]=5250[/tex]Hence, the deer population after one year will be 5250.
We can solve the same problem with a somewhat different approach.
We know that the deer population increases by 5% per year. Then what is the deer population next year if we start with 5000 deer?
Next year the population will have increased by 5%.
Now, what is 5% of 5000?
The answer is
[tex]5000\times\frac{5\%}{100\%}[/tex][tex]=250[/tex]This means the population has increased by 250.
Therefore, the population next year is 5000 + 250 = 5250 deer.
