A town has a population of 5000 and grows at 4% every year. What will be the population after 7 years, to the nearest whole number?

the population after 7 years is 6580

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 5000

r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

t = 7 years

Therefore

y = 5000(1 + 0.04)^7

y = 5000(1.04)^7

y = 6580

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
