Question

A town has a population of 14000 and grows at 5% every year. What will be the population after 14 years, to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

$Given \: present \: population \: in \; a \\town (P) = 14000$

$Growth (g) = 5\%$

$Number \: of \: years = n$

$\red{ Population \: after \: 14 \: years } \\= P\Big( 1 + \frac{g}{100}\Big)^{n} \\= 14000\Big( 1 + \frac{5}{100}\Big)^{14} \\= 14000 \Big( 1+0.05\Big)^{14} \\= 14000 \times (1.05)^{14}$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Population \: after \: 14 \: years } \\\green { = 14000 \times (1.05)^{14}}$
