Question

A town has a population of 14,000 in gross at 2.5% each year what will be the population after five year to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

approximately 15840

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential growth function

The exponential growth equation is...

$a(1 + r)^t$

a = original value

r = rate (as a decimal)

t = years

The equation should look like this once you plug in your values...

$14000(1+.025)^5$

Once you solve using PEMDAS, you should get 15839.71498

this rounds to 15840
