Question

A town population of 14000 and grows 3.5% every year. What will be the population after 14 years to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

22662

Explanation:

Since the growth is exponential, your equation will be y = a • b^x. a being the beginning amount, b the percentage it increases by, and x is the time taken.

y = 14000 • 1.035^14

= 22661.72

Round your answer since people can only be integers and your answer is a population of 22662
