<em>2,136,605</em>
<em />
Step-by-step explanation:
To estimate growth, we use the formula shown below:
Where
F is the future amount (we want to find for Jan 2024)
P is the present amount (present population of 1,988,817)
r is the rate of growth (0.9% means 0.009)
t is the time in years (from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 is 8 years, t = 8)
<em>Let's put these into the formula and figure out F:</em>

<em />
<em>Rounding we get the population in Jan 2024 to be </em><em>2,136,605</em>
