Question

The population of Mexico in mid 1994 was 91800000 its annual growth rate is 2.2% estimate its population in mid 2000

Answer 1

The population of New Mexico in the mid-2000 will approximately be 103,917,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Mexico's population in mid-1994 was 91,800,000. It increases by 2.2% a year. So we need to calculate how much 2.2% of 91,800,000 is.

2.2% of 91,800,000$= \frac{2.2}{100} (91,800,000) = 0.022 (91,800,000)=2,019,600.$

So with every year, the previous year's population increases by 2,019,600.

Step 2:

The population in 1994 $= 91,800,000.$

The population in 1995 $= 91,800,000 + 2,019,600= 93,819,600.$

The population in 1996 $= 93,819,600 + 2,019,600= 95,839,200.$

The population in 1997 $= 95,839,200 + 2,019,600= 97,858,800.$

The population in 1998 $= 97,858,800 + 2,019,600= 99,878,400.$

The population in 1999 $= 99,878,400 + 2,019,600= 101,898,000.$

The population in 2000 $= 101,898,000 + 2,019,600= 103,917,600.$

The population of New Mexico in the mid-2000 will approximately be 103,917,600.
