Convert 5.75% to decimal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.75% = 0.0575


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population after 12 years
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
370 000 (1 + 0.0575) ¹² = 723 713 (nearest whole number)

Answer: The population will be 723713 in 12 years
