Question

The world population reached 7.53 billion in 2017 and was growing at approximately 1.2% each year. If this growth rate

continues, in what year is the population expected to reach 10 billion people?
2037
2041
2044
2052

Answer 1

2044

Explanation:

90,360,000 is each year, and if you multiply that by 10, it is 903,600,000. Do it again to get 1,807,200,000. That would equal the year of 2037, but it isnt enough. Then add 722880000, which would be 2044 and the total would be 7.53 billion + 1807200000 + 722880000 which equals to 10,060,800,000
