In 8 years the population will reach 35900.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A town has a population of 15000 and grows at 4.5% every year.

To find : How long will it be until the population will reach 35900?

Solution :

The population growth can be identified by using

Where,

N=35900 is future population

is the initial population

t is the time taken

4.5%=0.045 is the rate of the growth

Rephrasing the formula to get the value of t,

Substituting the values,

Therefore, In 8 years the population will reach 35900.
