Typical growth formulas are
where is the initial population at time t=0,
G is the rate of growth given in percent (change to decimal for calculation),
t is the time(work hand in hand with growth rate, years in this case).
In your case, the year 2008 would be t=0, then 2012 would be t=4,
4 years from the inital population.
