Answer:
The population will reach 980,000 in 26 years approximately.
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial Population of city = 490000
Rate of increase in population = 2.75%
We are supposed to find Approximately when will the population reach 980,000
Formula : [tex]N(t)=N_0(1+r)^t[/tex]
N(t)= population after t years
[tex]N_0=[/tex] Initial population
t - time
r = rate of interest in decimals
So,[tex]980000=490000(1+\frac{2.75}{100})^t[/tex]
t=25.55
So, the population will reach 980,000 in 26 years approximately.
