Answer:

Let’s say that the population in the first year (2 years ago) was 100%

In the second year it would be 100% x 1.15 = 115%

In the third year it would be 115% x 1.15 = 132.25%

That population in the third year (at 132.25%) was 79,350

So the population in the first year (at 100%) was 79350 x 100 / 132.25

= 60,000
