Question 304810: Hi could someone please help me solve for this word problem?
130. Population of Mexico. In 2006 the population of
Mexico was 107.4 million. If Mexico�s population continues
to grow at an annual rate of 1.43%, then the population
in 2028 will be 107.4(1.0143)22 million.
a) Find the predicted population in 2020 to the nearest
tenth of a million people.
b) Using this number (347.5 million) determine whether
the United States or Mexico will have the greater
increase in population between 2006 and 2020.
