A population of 360,000 has a growth rate of +1.4% yearly. What is the population after one year?

The population is 365,040 after one year.

Explanation:

The populations around the world have different characterisitcs. What shapes the demographic characterisitcs depends on numerous factors, from birthrates and death rates to migration patterns and standard of living. In this particular case, we have a country or an area where the population is experiencing growth.

The population counts 360,000 people, while its growth rate is +1.4% annually, which is good growth, not too slow, and not too fast. If we are to get to the population in one year time, then we need to divide the total population by 100 (total number of percents) so that we can get how much 1% of the population is:

360,000 / 100 = 3,600

Now that we now how much 1% is, we just need to multiply it by the annual population growth, which is 1.4:

3,600 x 1.4 = 5,040

The population will increase by 5,040 people, so just by adding that to the present population we will get the population in one year time:

360,000 + 5,040 = 365,040

The population in one year's time will be 365,040.
