  1. 6.10 Make a table

  2. Population Growth • At the beginning of the year 2000, the population of the United States was about 273.5 million. The rate of population growth was about 0.85% per year. If that rate continues, what will the population be at the beginning of 2010? • What is important information? • What are we trying to find?

  3. Make a plan • In this case a table can help us organize our data. • How can you find the increase in population from the beginning of 2000 to the end of that year? • How can you fins the population at the beginning of 2001? • Since the percent of increase is the same each year, will the population increase also be the same?

  4. Use the table below to help solve the problem

  5. Think about it • Would you get the same answer if you multiplied 273.5 by .0085 and 10? • Why will this method give you an incorrect answer?
