Use reasoning to answer the following question.
Youngsville had a population of 684 people. The town had a growth spurt and the population increased by 25% then they witnessed that 40% of the population moved away. What is the current population?

513
The town had 684 people then had a 25% growth spurt increasing the population by 684 *.

25 = 171 people.

The town had 684 people then they added 171 people bringing the population to 684 + 171 = 855 people.

There were 855 people and 40% moved away so it decreased by 855 *.

40 = 342.

The population was 855 and 342 people moved away making the new population 855 - 342 = 513 people.

.

The answer: 513
