Answer:

Explanation:

After 15 years the population would be 176,000.

To find this answer, we simply find out what 4% of 110,000 is.

You can do this by entering in your calculator 110,000-96% (the remaining percentage) and that would give you a total of 4,400.

Next you need to multiply 4,400 by 15, which would give you a total answer of 66,000.

Lastly we add the numbers: 110,000 + 66,000 = 176,000

Hope this helps.
