B) 23,852 inhabitants

C) 190,260 inhabitants

D) 23,552 inhabitants

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the starting year of 1990 and subtract it from 1999 to get the year span of 9,

You then take the amount per year the population goes up by which is 300, so 300 multiplied by 9 is 2,700

You add 2,700 to 21,152 to get B-23,852
