Answer:

4,324,386 students

Explanation:

Student population in 2015 = 3,845,721

Percentage of students population in 2015 = 100%

Percentage increase of students each year = 1.18%

What will the student population of Algebra City be in the year 2025?

2025 population = 3,845,721(100% + 1.18%)^t

Where

t = number of years

= 2025 - 2015

= 10 years

2025 population = 3,845,721(100% + 1.18%)^t

= 3,845,721(1 + 0.118)^10

= 3,845,721(1.0118)^10

= 3,845,721(1.1244670934955)

= 4,324,386.7152646077555

Approximately,

= 4,324,386 students
