1) For a period of time, an island's population grows at a rate of 3.8% per year. If the current population is 1543, what will the population be in 5.2 years?

Okay so 3.8% of 1,543 is 58.634 so then you would multiply it by 5.2 for years witch would be 304.8978 so add that to the original witch is 1543 so your answer would be 1847.8978 rounded up would be 1848
