Question

In January 2005, the population of California was 36.8 million and growing at an annual rate of 1.3%. Assume that growth continues at the same rate. a) By how much will the population increase between 2005 and 2030

Answer 1

Answer:

11,960,000 populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of California at year 2005 = 36.8 million

If the population is growing at annual rate of 1.3%, then yearly increment will be:

1.3% of 36.8 million

= 1.3% of 36,800,000

= 1.3/100 * 36,800,000

= 1.3 * 368,000

= 478,400

The number of yeas between 2005 and 2030 is 25years

The population increase between 2005 and 2030 will be 25 *  478,400

= 11,960,000

Hence the population would have increased by 11,960,000 populations between 2005 and 2030
