Answer:

6.69

Explanation:

The equation is:

y=12000(1.04)^x

To solve, set y equal to 15600 and solve for x (I used a calculator)

15600=12000(1.04)^x

x=6.69

Answer:

It will take 7.5 or 7 and a half years for the population to reach 15,600!

Explanation:

4% of 12000 is 480!

15600-12000 is 3,600!

3,600/480 is 7.5
