112,551 people

88,529

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to subtract 3% 4 times meaning 4 years then just round it up

88,529 people

Step-by-step explanation:

if the towns population is 100,000

%10 is 10,000

meaning %1 = 1,000

1,000 x 3 = 3,000

3,000 = %3

3,000 x 4 (because its 4 years)

= 12,000

100,000 - 12,000 = 88,000

rounding it to 88,529
