Answer:
24.1 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to write the logistic function is ...
P(t) = AB/(A +(B-A)e^(-kt))
where A is initial value (P(0)), and B is the carrying capacity (P(∞)). We are told to use relative population growth in the 1990s as the value for k.
In billions, we have ...
A = 5.3
B = 100
k = 0.02/5.3 ≈ 0.003774 . . . . . relative growth rate at 20 M per year
t = 2450 -1990 = 460
