Answer: 1,833,615
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:
A = P (1 + r) t
Where:
p = original population
r = growing rate (decimal form)
t= years
A = population after t years
Replacing with the values given:
A = 800,000 (1+ 5/100)^17
A = 1,833,615
