How would you solve this worded equation:

A satellite city was established ten years ago. For the last eight years, the city's population, P, has been growing according to the rule

P=klog10(n) (where 10 is the base of log)
where "k" is a constant and "n" is the number of years since the city was established. The city's population is now 100000.

a) Find the value of k.

Thanks

n" is the number of years since the city was established

so n=10

Log1010=1

=>P=K

I think you can get the answer on your own now.

Thanks
I didn't pay much attention to the worded question
