The current population of a city is estimated to be 77, 435 people assume the city population Grows by about 1.05% per year predict the city population 22 years from now on round to the nearest whole number



Answer :

Answer

97440

Explanation

To predict the city population in 22 years from now on, we shall use the population growth formula, which is

[tex]\begin{gathered} P_n=P_0(1+r)^n \\ \text{Where P}_n\text{ = Predicted population in n years} \\ P_0=the\text{ current estimated population = 77435} \\ r=\text{population growth rate = 0.0105} \\ n=\text{ number of years = 22} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The predicted population in 22 years from now on is

[tex]\begin{gathered} P_{22}=77435(1+0.0105)^{22} \\ P_{22}=77435(1.0105)^{22} \\ P_{22}=77435\times1.25834287 \\ P_{22}=97440 \end{gathered}[/tex]
