Answer:  1.75p


Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'p' represents the current population.

The increase in the population of the city =7.5%

Therefore,  the expected population next year= Current population+75% of the current population

[tex]=p+75\%\ of\ p\ \\=p+0.75p....\text{[convert percent into decimal]}\\=p(1+0.75).........\text{[take p as common outside]}\\=p(1.75)=1.75p[/tex]

Hence, the expected population next year= 1.75p
