Answer: In 2008 the population was 21,525,144

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for Exponential decay:

P=P_0(1-r)^t

Where P_0 is the initial population in the year 0, r is the rate of decay and t is the time.

In this case, you can identify that:

P_0=25,300,987\\\\r=2\%\\\\t=8

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula for Exponential decay, you get:

P=P_0(1-r)^t\\\\P=(25,300,987)(1-\frac{2}{100})^8\\\\P=21,525,144

Then, in 2008 the population was 21,525,144
