Question

The town of Springfield , USA has a population of 9900 people. The population is growing at a rate of 2.3% each year

Answer 1

It usually asks what the population will be in _____ years. Anyways, 9900=(1+0.023)^ [however many years]. I’ve done this problem before, and I believe it was 7 years, so you will “raise it” to 7 or whatever the number is.
