Question

A city’s population is 12,800. It is predicted that the population will increase by 3% each year.

Part a: Write a function that can be used to find the city’s population after t years.
Part b: If the city’s population, p, continues to grow 3% per year, what will the approximate population be in 15 years. Round to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

18,560

Explanation:
3 percent *12800 =

(3:100)*12800 =

(3*12800):100 =

38400:100 = 384

384*15 = 5760
12800 + 5760 = 18560
