Answer: the population will be

395925972

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^ t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 100000000

r = 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035,

t = 40 years

Therefore

A = 100000000(1 + 0.035)^40

A = 100000000(1.035)^40

A = 395925972
