ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.
To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:

where y = final value
a = initial value
r = rate of growth
t = time (in years)
For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:

Substitute the given values into the function above:

To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:

Solve for t:

It will take 9 years for the population to double.

We know that we have to m<span>ake a down payment of $1500 and finance the rest of $20000 at a 1.9% interest rate, making equal monthly payments for 5 years. Our first step to solve this problem would be to convert 5 years into months.
1 year = 12 months
12 * 5 = 60 months
Therefore, in 5 years there are 60 months.
Now lets solve this problem step by step.
Subtract the down payment from $20,000
</span>$20000-$1500=$18500
Multiply the remaining number by the interest rate.
$18500 *1.9 = $35150
Divide 35150 by number of months in 5 years (60)
$35150 / 60 = $585
<span>Therefore, you have to pay $585 per month. </span>
