HELP PLEASE!!!

The bear population in Canada was 380,000 in the year 2015. Environmentalists think that the population is increasing at a rate of 2.5% per year.
Let x = number of years since 2015.

What will the bear population be in 2050?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Find differences in year (x)

x=2050-2015

x=35 years

Find total percentage

=2.5%×(x)

=2.5×35

=87.5%

Multiply percentage with initial number

=87.5%×380000

=33250000
