Question

This is to standard form:
I will mark you brainliest every day only if you answer this question correctly:

In 2016 the population of the UK was
6.5×10^7
Laura wants to calculate an estimate for the population of the UK in 2020.
She assumes that the population increases by 0.6% each year.

Using Laura’s assumption, calculate an estimate for the population of the UK in 2020.

Answer 1

I think that,

when 2016 the population is 6.5×10^7

You told that the population is increasing by 0.6%

So, We assume that x be the increase in population

0.6%=x/6.5×10^7

x = 3.9×10^5

In 2020, that means after four years,

So the population increases by 6.5×10^7 + 4x time

Which means,

In 2020 the population will be

6.5×10^7 + 4(3.9×10^5)

=6.5×10^7 + 15.6 × 10^5

=22.1×10^13.

I think so the answer is correct.If not please apologize me.
