A town has a population of 170000 and grows at 4% every year. what will be the population after 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the exponential growth formula:

y = a(1+r)ˣ

where

y = amount after x time

a = initial amount

r = growth rate as a decimal fraction

x = number of years

Data:

a = 170 000

r = 0.04

Calculations:

The figure below also shows that the population will grow to about 272 000 in 12 yr.

step-by-step explanation:
