was 81,692 in the year 2000. If the city grows at an annual rate of 2.3%, approximately how many people were added between 2000 and 2001?

1877 were added between 2000 and 2001

Explanation:

First we convert the percentage into a decimal number.

100%→1

2.3%←x

x = (2.3%*1) / 100% = 0.023

Then we multiply:

81,692*0.023=1877.4 we rounded because we are talking about people.

Finally, in 2001 we have 1877 people more than in 2000.

To find the total population in 2001 (if deaths are 0) we add:

81,692+1877=83,569 people
