Question

The population of Mexico in mid 1994 was 91800000 its annual growth rate is 2.2% estimate its population in mid 2000

Answer 1

The population of New Mexico in the mid-2000 will approximately be 103,917,600.

Explanation:

Step 1:

Mexico's population in mid-1994 was 91,800,000. It increases by 2.2% a year. So we need to calculate how much 2.2% of 91,800,000 is.

2.2% of 91,800,000
`= (2.2)/(100) (91,800,000) = 0.022 (91,800,000)=2,019,600.`

So with every year, the previous year's population increases by 2,019,600.

Step 2:

The population in 1994
`= 91,800,000.`

The population in 1995
`= 91,800,000 + 2,019,600= 93,819,600.`

The population in 1996
`= 93,819,600 + 2,019,600= 95,839,200.`

The population in 1997
`= 95,839,200 + 2,019,600= 97,858,800.`

The population in 1998
`= 97,858,800 + 2,019,600= 99,878,400.`

The population in 1999
`= 99,878,400 + 2,019,600= 101,898,000.`

The population in 2000
`= 101,898,000 + 2,019,600= 103,917,600.`

The population of New Mexico in the mid-2000 will approximately be 103,917,600.
