You can put this solution on YOUR website! Actual population before twenty years=10,000.
Increase in population per year=8%=((100+8)*10,000)/100=10,800.
So,there will be an increment of 800 people to the population every year.
=>after twenty years,the total population=10,000+19*(800)=25,200.
Now,the population for 10 more years=25,200+10(800)=33,200.
=>Final population=33,200.
