Question

The population of the town of fort mill was 10,811 in 2010. what is the population in 2016 if it grew 7.5% per year

Answer 1

16,688 people lived in that town in 2016.

Explanation:

10,811 + 7.5% = 11,621.8 = 11,622 (2011)

11,622 + 7.5% = 12,493.6 = 12,494 (2012)

12,494 + 7.5% = 13,431.05 = 13,432 (2013)

13,432 + 7.5% = 14,439.4 = 14,440 (2014)

14,440 + 7.5% = 15,523 (2015)

15,523 + 7.5% = 16,687.225 = 16,688 (2016)
