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

400 million

Sorry for no steps

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
