A country currently has a population of 100 million and an annual growth rate of 3.5 percent. If the growth rate remains constant, what will be the population of this country in 40 years

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

400 million
