Answer:

7518400

Step-by-step explanation:

Doubling time model:

         [tex]P= P_o 2^{\frac{t}{D}}[/tex]

Here, P is the initial value, D is the time taken to double the quantity, t is the given period of time.

 [tex]P_o = 469,900\\\\\\D = 5 \ years\\t = 20 \ years[/tex]

                    [tex]P = 469,900 * 2^\frac{20}{5}\\\\P = 469,900 * 2^4[/tex]

                         = 469,900 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

                         = 7518400
