Question

The population of a country increases continuously at a rate of 8%. If the current population is 800,000, what will the population be in 5.5 years? Round your answer to TWO decimal places.

Answer 1

The answer is 844,000

Explanation:

to make it easier you can break the 800,000 into 8 100,000 pieces, 8% of 100,000 is 8,000, 8,000 times 8 is 44,000 and now just add 800,000 and 44,000.
