Question

Population The world population in 2000 was approximately 6.08 billion. The annual rate of increase was about 1.26%. If this rate of increase continues, what will be the approximate world population in 2050?​

Answer 1

Population in 2050 = 11,369,600,000

Explanation:

Given:

Population in 2000 = 6,080,000,000

Rate of increase = 1.26%

Find:

Population in 2050

Computation:

Number of year = 50

Population in 2050 = Population in 2000[1+r]ⁿ

Population in 2050 = 6,080,000,000[1+1.26%]⁵⁰

Population in 2050 = 6,080,000,000[1.87]

Population in 2050 = 11,369,600,000
