how to figure population growth when you have an annual rate of increase?
Help with this problem: In 2006 th population of Mexico was 107.4 million. If Mexico’s population continues to grow at an annual rate of 1.43%, then the population in 2028 will be 107.4(1.0143) to the 14th million.
a) find the predicted population in 2020 to the nearest tenth of a million people.
hi lynn !
i think you have mixed up the figures
population in 2006 = 107.4 million
population in 2020 = 107.4*1.0143^14 = 131.0 million
population in 2028 = 107.4*1.0143^22 =146.8 million
cheers !
