In 2009, a school population was 1,700. By 2017 the population had grown to 2,500. Assume the population is changing linearly. What is the average population growth per year?

100

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is changing linearly. This means that the population is increasing by a particular value n every year.

From 2009 to 2017, there are 8 increases and so, the population increases by 8n.

The population increased from 1700 to 2500. Therefore, the population increase is:

2500 - 1700 = 800

This implies that:

8n = 800

=> n = 800/8 = 100

The average population growth per year is 100.
