Answer: 68096.52; rounded to 68097
Step-by-step explanation:
64242 x 2/100 (because 2% = 0.02 = 2/100) = 1284.84
So the population of Oak is increasing at a rate of 1284.84 people per year.
But in three years?
1284.84 x 3 = 3854.52.
64242 + 3854.52 = 68096.52.
The population in three years will be 68096.52
