Question

What is the population in 2020 of a place that has a population of 4 million people in 2011 and is growing at a rate of 1.3%?

Answer 1

Answer:

370 million

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 10 years from 2000 to 2010, the population was multiplied by the factor ...

100% + 9.6% = 109.6% = 1.096

In the next 20 years from 2010 to 2030, the population will be multiplied by that factor twice, if it grows at the same rate:

2030 population = (308 million)·(1.096²) ≈ 370 million
