Question

The population of pallet town increases by 15% every year. If there are currently 190,000 people living there, what will be the population in 13 years? if necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The population of Pallet Town will be approximately 719,826 people in 13 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the population in 13 years, we need to calculate the population after each year using the given growth rate of 15%. We can do this by multiplying the current population by 1 plus the growth rate (in decimal form), raised to the power of the number of years. In this case, the population after 13 years would be:

P = 190,000 * (1 + 0.15)^13 ≈ 719,826 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
