The countries population in 1992 was 147 million . In 1996 it’s was 153 million. estimate the population in 2008 used The exponential growth formula. Round your answer to the nearest million

The population in 2008 is 171 million

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the population in 2008 using the exponential growth formula we would have to make the following calculation:

population in 2008= population in 1996 + population increased between 1996 and 2008

According to the given data:

population in 1996=153 million

population in 1992=147 million

Therefore, the increase of population from 1992 to 1996=153 million-147 million= 6 million

Therefore, the increase of popoulation is 1 1/2 million each year.

Therefore, if from 1996 and 2008 are 12 years, the population increased between 1996 and 2008= 12 x 1 /1/2 = 18 million.

Therefore, population in 2008=153 million + 18 milliion

population in 2008=171 million

The population in 2008 is 171 million
