If a town's population grows by 9,003% every year, this means it multiplies by 100.03 every year (100% represents the original population, and the additional 9,003% growth is equivalent to multiplying by 100.03).

So, the population after 9 years would be calculated as follows:

Population after 9 years = Original population * (growth rate)^number of years

Population after 9 years = 1 * (100.03)^9

Population after 9 years ≈ 1 * 119,360.502

The population after 9 years would be approximately 119,360.502 times the original population.

Population: 119,360,502 people
