Answer 1

Given,

The total population of a city has 390,000.

Each year population grows by 3.75%.

To find: The population after 10 years.

Solution:

The population after ten years is

`\begin{gathered} 390,000*(1+(3.75)/(100))^(10) \\ =390,000*((103.75)/(100))^(10) \\ =390,000*1.0375 \\ =404,625 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 404,625.
