manhattan review population

by resilient » Sat Mar 22, 2008 7:49 pm
the population of country S is 10 million people less than the population of country J. If in 5 years, Country J has as many people as Country S, how many peopl e live in country s in three years given that each country has a constant population growth of .5 million people per year?

a.6
b.7.5
c.9
d.10.5
e.12


qa is C

Are you sure you have the exact problem ?
If in 5 years, Country J has as many people as Country S
This doesn't make sense to me if both populations are growing at the same rate. Looking at the answer is it J has twice as many ?

thx
