A population of 1000 grew by 10% annually. After one year, it is:
Correct answer: B. 1100
- A. 1010
- B. 1100
- C. 1110
- D. 1200
Explanation
To calculate the new population after a 10% annual growth, multiply the original population by 1.10. Starting with a population of 1000, this results in 1000 * 1.10 = 1100. Thus, the correct answer is 1100. Option A (1010) indicates a 1% growth, which is incorrect. Option C (1110) and Option D (1200) overestimate the population growth, suggesting more than the stated 10% increase.

About Critical Thinking
Critical thinking examines how conclusions follow from evidence, including claims, assumptions, arguments, inferences and relevant facts.
