Question

A city currently has 2.08 thousand residents. Each year the city's population grows by around 420 persons.

After 14 years what will the approximate population of the city be? Round to three significant digits.

Approximately
thousand residents.

Answer 1

the approximate population of the city after 14 years will be 7.96 thousand residents.

Explanation:

to calculate the approximate population of the city after 14 years, we need to take into account the annual growth rate.

Given that the city's population grows by around 420 persons each year, we can calculate the total growth over 14 years by multiplying the annual growth rate by the number of years:

14 years × 420 persons/year = 5,880 persons

To find the approximate population after 14 years, we add the total growth to the current population:

2.08 thousand + 5.88 thousand = 7.96 thousand
