Q. To find the population of a city next year, we multiply its current population by

1

.

024

. By what percent does the population increase per year?

\newline

Answer:______

\%

Identify Population and Growth Factor: First, we need to identify the current population and the factor by which it increases. The problem states that the population is multiplied by $1.024$ to find the population for the next year.
Calculate Percent Increase: To find the percent increase, we need to subtract $1$ from the growth factor because the original population is represented by $1$ (or $100\%$ ). $\newline$ So, the percent increase is $(1.024 - 1) = 0.024$ .
Convert Decimal Increase to Percentage: Now, we convert the decimal increase to a percentage by multiplying by $100$ . $\newline$ Percent increase = $0.024 \times 100\% = 2.4\%$ .
