The probable number of prople sent to US emergency rooms by 2090 can be between 22,050 and 23,100

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sent to US emergency room by 2010 = 21000

The estimated increase in the rise of cases = 5 to 10% by 2090

Final numbers in 2090

Hence the final numbers in 2090 would be 5 to 10% more than the total cases in 2010

Lower limit = 5% of 21000 = 1050

Hence lower limit of cases in 2090 = 21000+1050 = 22050

Upper limit of cases in 2090 = 10% of 21000 = 21000+2100 = 23,100

The number would lie anywhere between 22050 and 23,100 in 2090
