Answer: 137,375,958

Explanation:

Exponential growth equation:


y=A(1+r)^x , where A = initial population , x= time , r =rate of growth.

As per given: r = 1.7% = 0.017

Population of Mexico in 2003 : A= 104900000

In 2019 , x = 2019-2003 = 16

Population in Mexico :
y=104900000 (1+0.017)^(16)=104900000 (1.017)^(16)


=104900000 (1.30958968823)\approx137375958

Population of Mexico in 2019 = 137,375,958
