Thank you for posting your question here. The estimated population of the town in the year 2000 is letter C which is 41,905. Below is the solution:

Let P is the population of the town
x = to 5 since from 1995 to 2000

P = 31314 * 1.06^x
P = 31314 * 1.06^5
P = 31314 * 1.3382255776
P =
41905.19 to round of 41905
