Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P=200000

P x .15 =x (30000)

2x=y (60000)

P + y= (200000+60000) 260000

Answer:

The equation is :

                  [tex]A = 200000 ( 1 + 0.15)^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let population in 2 years be A

Current  population be P = 200,000

Rate of increase, r = 15% = 0.15

Time, t = 2years

Therefore,

            [tex]A= P(1 + r)^t[/tex]

           [tex]A = 200000 ( 1 + 0.15)^2[/tex]

              [tex]=264500[/tex]

Population after 2 years will  be  264,500
