Answer 2

Answer:

0.11 represents the expected annual percent change in the population

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in the form

$A=p(1+r)^t$, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent change in population per year, and t is the number of years.

In our equation, 0.11 is in the place of r; this means it is the annual percent change in the population.
