A population of 140,000 grows 4 % per year for 15 years.

How much will the population be after 15 years

252132

Step-by-step explanation:

How much will the population be after 15 years

we can make use of the compound interest formula

this is because the population increases each year

formula:

A = P (1 + r/100) ^n

where:

A is the amount

P is the principle

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of years

input the values given to find the amount after 15 years

A = 140 000 * (1 + 4/100) ^ 15

= 252132.0908

to the nearest whole number is 252132

the population after 15 years is 252132
