Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{\sf \ \ \ 404,699 \ \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

At the beginning the population is 240,000

After 1 year the population will be

   240,000*(1+7.75%)=240,000*1.0775

After n years the population will be

   [tex]240,000\cdot1.0775^n[/tex]

So after 7 years the population will be

   [tex]240,000\cdot1.0775^7=404699.058...[/tex]

So rounded to the nearest whole number gives 404,699

Hope this helps
