Question 180

The population of a town was 78787 in the year 1991 and 95833 in the year 2001. Estimate the increase in population by rounding off each population to nearest hundreds.

Answer 1

Here, population of a town in 1991 = 78787
Rounding off 78787 to nearest hundreds = 78800
and population of a town in 2001 = 95833
Rounding off 95833 to nearest hundreds = 95800
$\therefore$ Increase in population = 95800 - 78800 = 17000
