    The formula is

    P=Ae^-rt

    P?

    A 3000

    R 0.011

    T 10 years

    P=3,000*e^ (-0.011*10)

    P=2,687.5 round your answer to get

    P=2688

    total = 3000 * (1-0.011) ^10

    1-0.011 = 0.989

    total = 3000 * (0.989) ^10

    0.989^10 = 0.895288314

    3000 * 0.895288314 = 2685.86

    rounded to nearest whole number = 2686

    there will be 2686 people
