The population last year was = 6880

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth formula is given by:

P_n=P_o(1+r)^t

where P_n represents population after years, P_o represents the initial population and represents the growth rate in decimals.

Given :

P_n=7568

$r=10\%=0.10$

$t=1\ year$

Thus, we have.

7568=P_o(1+0.1)^1

Solving for P_o

7568=P_o(1.1)^1

7568=P_o(1.1)

Dividing both sides by 1.1

$\frac{7568}{1.1}=\frac{P_o(1.1)}{1.1}$

6880=P_o

∴ P_o=6880

Thus, the population last year was = 6880
