14. If a population is recorded at 1,200 in the year 2000 and the rate of increase is a steady 50 people each year, what will be the population in 2018? What year will the population be 7,500?

18 years passed between 2000 and 2018.

50 people x 18 years = 900 people

1,200 + 900 = 2,100 people in 2018

To find out what year the population will be 7,500, divide 7,500 by 50.

7,500 : 50 = 150

So, in 150 years the population will be 7,500.

2018 + 150 = The year 2168
