Suppose a city with population 900,000 has been growing at a rate of 7% per year. If this rate continues, find the population of this city in 17 years

Respuesta :

Answer: 1,971,000

Step-by-step explanation:

7% increase per year= 7/100 x 900,000

=63000; population will therefore increase by 63,000 per year.

In 17 years, it will have increased by 63,000 × 17 = 1,071,000

Population in 17 years will be current population + increase

=900,000+ 1,071,000

=1,971,000
