    65550 is the population at the end of 2017

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Population at the beginning of 2106: 60000

    Increased 15% in 2016

    Increase = 60000*.15 = 9000

    New population = 60000+9000 = 69000

    The population at the beginning of 2017: 69000

    Decrease by 5% in 2017

    Decrease 69000*.05 = 69000*.05 = 3450

    New population = 69000-3450=65550

    The population at the end of 2017 is 65550
