The population of a small town in Alabama is 382 people. If the growth rate is 0.7%, what will its population be in 30 years?

Formula for growth:

y = initial • (percent growth + 1)^time/frequency of growth

So, since initial population is 382

Percent growth is 0.007

The time is 30 years

And it goes it by .07% every 1 year,

y = 382 • (1.007)^30/1

y= 470.9203732 people

Since we can’t have 0.9 of a person, the population after 30 years will be 470 people.
