The town's present population is 70,200. This can be calculated by multiplying the current population (54,000) by the increase factor (1 + 2/3 = 5/3).
In 5 years, the population will increase by 5 percent (1 percent each year for 5 years), so the overall population will be 1.05 times the current population. Therefore, the population in 5 years will be 8500 * 1.05 = 8925.

Suppose the population 3 years ago was x. Then a year later it would have been x*(1.06) two years later it would have been x*(1.06)2 and three years later x*(1.06)3 which is 16224 So x = 16224/1.063 = 16224/1.191016 = 13621.98! If it was 13621, it would have increased to 16222.83 now and if it had been 13622 it would now be 16224.02. Clearly a strange town with fractional people in it.
