B.) About 6104 people
C.) 12500 people
D.) 9375 people

Respuesta :

Answer:

6104 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 means it will multiply by 1 and a fourth

2500*1.25 =3125 the first month

3125*1.25=3906.25 the second.

3906.25*1.25=4882.8125 the third

4882.8125*1.25=6103.515625

round that up and you have 6104 people.
