Solve the problem.Suppose that demographic studies show that each year about 6% of a city's population moves to the suburbs (and 94% stays in the city), while 4% of the suburban population moves to the city (and 96% remains in the suburbs). In the year 2000, 64% of the population of the region lived in the city and 36% lived in the suburbs. What is the distribution of the population in 2002? For simplicity, ignore other influences on the population such as births, deaths, and migration into and out of the city/suburban region.
