In 2005, the population of a city was 25,000.
The population increased by 20% in each of the next three.
If this rate of increase continues, what will be the population of the city in 2012?
:
The multiplier for a 20% increase is 1.2
:
If the population was 25000, what will it be in 7 more years
p(7) =
p(7) = 25000 * 3.5832
p(7) = 89,580
