1100/2
=550
because 100% is 500 and 100% is last year's population
Answer:
In 2012 , the population will be 15 million
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by setting up an exponential equation that defines the increase
P(t) = I(1 + r)^t
P(t) represents the present population = 15 million
I is the population in 2007 which is 13.8 million
r is 1.6% = 0.016
t is what we want to calculate
15 million = 13.8 million (1 + 0.016)^t
15/13.8 = (1.016)^t
1.09 = (1.016)^t
ln 1.09 = t ln 1.016
t = ln 1.09/ln 1.016
t = 5.429 which is approximately 5
So in 2007 + 5 = 2012, the population will be 15 million
The answer is 86.4 I believe.
The answer is D.
You multiply 1,250,000 by 1.50= 1,875,000
Then add 1,875,000 to 1,250,000= 3,125,000
Divide by 1,000,000 and you get 3.125
