Answer: 142825

Explanation:

If
t is the number of years, then the population is
P(t)=100000(1.02)^t.

Setting
t=18.
P(18)=100000(1.02)^(18) \approx 142825.

Answer: 136,000

Explanation:

Firstly, we know that 2% of 100,000 is going to be -> 2000

The current population is, 100,000.

We're asked for 2% for 18 years.

Ergo, we will do 2000 * 18 and get -> 36,000

Finally, all we do is take 100,000 and add 36,000.

Therefore, the answer will be 136,000.
