Answer 2

Answer:

658,600 after 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert 6.5% into the decimal: 0.065
2. Multiply the current population by the decimal: 370,000(0.065)=24,050
3. Multiply 24,050 by 12 years: 24,050(12)= 288,600
4. Add the answer to the current population: 370,000+288,600= 658,600

That should be correct I think
