Answer:
2,136,605
Step-by-step explanation:
To estimate growth, we use the formula shown below:
[tex]F=P(1+r)^t[/tex]
Where
F is the future amount (we want to find for Jan 2024)
P is the present amount (present population of 1,988,817)
r is the rate of growth (0.9% means 0.009)
t is the time in years (from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 is 8 years, t = 8)
Let's put these into the formula and figure out F:
[tex]F=P(1+r)^t\\F=1,988,817(1+0.009)^8\\F=2,136,604.5[/tex]
Rounding we get the population in Jan 2024 to be 2,136,605
