people

Answer 1

Answer:424000

Explanation:

First, you need to find out what is 8 percent of 200,000 which is 16000

So now we know that every year Tacoma's population grows by 16000

Now we calculate 16000 for 14 years which is 224000

Finally, we had the original population which was 200,000, and the people who moved to Tocoma in those 14 years which is 224000

Add it together and you get 424,000
