    Answer: 1,833,615

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

    A = P (1 + r) t

    Where:

    p = original population

    r = growing rate (decimal form)

    t = years

    A = population after t years

    Replacing with the values given:

    A = 800,000 (1 + 5/100) ^17

    A = 1,833,615

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
