  20.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the exponential function ...

  p = 16000·(1 +0.022)^t

When p = 25000, we can find the value of t by taking logarithms.

  log(25000/16000) = t·log(1.022) . . . . . divide by 16000, take the log

  t = log(25/16)/log(1.022) ≈ 20.5 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

It will take about 20.5 years for the population to reach 25000.
