A town's population has gown by 600 people in the last 2 years. On average, how many people will town grow by in 5 years?
A 1,500 people
B 3,000 people
C 240 people
D 300 people
To find the average growth rate, we need to divide the total growth in population by the number of years.
The growth in population in the last 2 years is 600 people.
Therefore, the average growth rate per year is 600/2 = 300 people.
Therefore, in 5 years, the town will grow by 5 * 300 = 1500 people.
So the answer is option A) 1,500 people.
