1,427, 170 when rounded

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 6% fo 500,000 which is

500000 x 0.06 = 30000

530000 x 0.06 = 31800

561800 x 0.06 = 33708

Etc, etc.

What is the population in 18 years?

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = interest rate
  • N = number of years

500,000(1.06)^18 = 1,427,170
