The population of a town in 2000 was 430. The population is increasing at a rate of 0.9% every year. What will be the projected population of the town in 2010?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1018.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplying factor here is 1 +0.09 = 1.09. Every year the current population figure is multiplied by 1.09. We have 10 years of growth so:

  P(2010) =  430(1.09)^10

= 1018.
