The population of a village is 16,000. If the population increases by 5% in a year, the population after one year would be ______?
Explanation
5% of 16,000 = 800, so increase = 800.
New population = 16,000 + 800 = 16,800.
A percentage increase means adding the calculated percent value to the original number.
