Answer 1

304,000,000 2,657,600

Step-by-step explanation:

If the USA had 302 million people in 2008, and the growth rate in that year was 0.88%, then the country would have little more over 304 million (304,657,600 to be more precise) American citizens in 2009. In order to get to the result we just need to divide 302 million with 100 as that is the number of percentage, and than multiply it by the number of the growth, 0.88:

302,000,000 / 100 = 3,020,000

3,020,000 x 0.88 = 2,657,600

Now we just need to ad this number with the number of citizens in 2008 and we will get how much there were in 2009:

302,000,000 + 2,657,600 = 304,657,600

So we have 304,657,600 Americans in 2009.
