Answer: 40 000

Explanation:

Population doubles in first 55 years =

5000 * 2 = 10 000

In 220 years from now, 220/55 = 4

Hence, 10 000 * 4 = 40 000 population

The answer is 80,000.
The steps to solving this equation are
1. Divide 220 by 55, which equals 4.
2. After that, you double 5000 which equals 10000. And so ok 4 times until you get 80,000. Hope this helped. Please mark brainless.
