PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! This counts for 70% of my grade!!!!!!

The country of ireland currently has a population of 4.94 million people. the population is growing at a rate of 1.2% each year. write an exponential function for the growth of ireland's population. what will the population be in 7 years

Answer 1

5354960

Explanation:

1.2% of 4.94 million is 1.2% of 4940000 and that is 59280 so that means it grows by 59280 in population each year. In 7 years it is going to increase by 59280*7 in population. so that is 4940000 + 414960 and that equals 5354960.
