Question

A small country had a population of 2,254,000 people in the year 2012. If the population grows steadily

at a rate of 3.5% each year, what is the expected population of this country in the year 2020?

Answer 1

Explanation:

year 2012 population = 2,254,000*3.5%

= 78.89

each year up to 2020

so 2020 - 2012 =8

78.89*8 = 631

total population at end of 2020 =2,254,000 + 631

= 2,254631
