Final answer:
To predict the city population 22 years from now, use the population growth rate of 1.05% per year. Calculate the annual population growth and multiply it by the number of years. Add this to the current population to find the predicted population.
Step-by-step explanation:
To predict the city population 22 years from now, we will use the population growth rate of 1.05% per year. First, we need to calculate the annual population growth.
Annual growth = current population x growth rate = 77,435 x 0.0105 = 812.19 people (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Next, we'll calculate the population after 22 years:
Population after 22 years = current population + (annual growth x number of years) = 77,435 + (812 x 22) = 95,419 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
