Gracie Mcintyre · Answer 1

5 million x 3% = 150,000

1 Year = 5,150,000

5.15 million x 3% = 154,500

2 Years = 5,304,500

5,304,500 x 3% = 159,135

3 Years = 5,463,635

5,463,635 x 3% = 163,909.05

4 Years = 5,627,544.05

5,627,544.05 x 3% = 168,826.322

5 Years = 5,796,370.37

After 5 years, the population will be 5,796,370.37
