Answer: 1,971,000
Step-by-step explanation:
7% increase per year= 7/100 x 900,000
=63000; population will therefore increase by 63,000 per year.
In 17 years, it will have increased by 63,000 × 17 = 1,071,000
Population in 17 years will be current population + increase
=900,000+ 1,071,000
=1,971,000
