Find the populations 10 years hence
PopulationInTenYears+=+PopulationToday+%2A+1.20 a 20% increase
SutterlyIn10Years+=+216000%2A+1.2+=+259200
BridgeworthIn10Years+=+204000+%2A+1.2+=+244800
Now find the difference
Difference+=+SutterlyIn10Years+-+BridgeworthIn10Years
Difference+=+259200+-+244800+=+14400
