Acity has a population of 220,000 people. suppose that each year the population grows by 8.5%. what will the population be after 15 years? round to the nearest whole number.

without rounding is about 787314.31, which means 787314 people plus 0.31 of another, we can only get 0.31 if we saw off one person, which is not happening, thus the rounding.

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
