Suppose a city with population of 900,000 has been growing at a rate of 3% per year. If this rate continues, find the population of this city in 24 years.

Answer 1

1,548,000

convert 3% to 0.03 so you can multiply it with 900,000. this gives you what 3% of 900,000 is(27,000). then multiply the 27,000 by the amount of years (24) to get 1,548,000 people.
