The current global human population is about 7.6 billion and is growing at an annual rate of 1.35 percent. If world population were to grow at this rate for the next year, approximately how many people would be added

Sagot :

Answer:

76×10^6 people or 76 million people

Explanation:

Let the population of the world now be Po = 7.6 × 10^9

Let the population next year be P

Let the time elapsed be t= 1 year

Let the growth rate be k= 1.35%

From;

P= Poe^kt

P= 7.6 × 10^9 e^0.0135× 1

P= 7.6 × 10^9 × 1.01

P= 7.676 × 10^9

Number added =

7.676 × 10^9 - 7.6 × 10^9 = 76×10^6 people
