Question

In 2016 the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the population of the United States at 322 million. If the annual rate of growth was about 0.81%, find the expected population at the time of the 2030 census. Round your answer to the nearest ten million.

Answer 1

388,000,000

Explanation:

So as we have 322 million

we want to take 0.81% of it and add to the total each year so

322,000,000*0.81%=2,608,200

322,000,000+2,608,200=324,608,200

and now do that for 22 more years so

We get 387,649,305.98 as our population

387,649,305.98 -------> 388,000,000
