Answer: Population in 2216 = 1,311,527,713 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Initial population (P0) = 325,000,000 Growing rate: 0.7% per year

So, the growing rate means that an additional 0.7% is added on to the 100% of the population each year. This is factor of 100.7%.

Population = 325,000,000 (1.007) ∧ number of years

Between 2016 and 2216 there are 200 years (2216-2016 = 200)

So:

Population in 2216 = 325,000,000 (1.007) ∧ 200

Population in 2216 = 1,311,527,713 people.
