Answer: 3,965,481
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In 2016, the Maricopa County population is approximately 3.817 million.
i.e. Initial population= 3.817 million =3,817,000
Of the population increases from the current population by 3.89 % over the next 5 years,
Population increased = 3.89% of 3,817,000
= 0.0389 (3817000)
= 148481.3 ≈ 148481
Population in 2021= 3,817,000 +148,481 =3,965,481
Hence, the population in 2021 = 3,965,481
