We can use the formula for compound growth to solve this problem. The formula is , where:

 is the final amount (in this case, the population after  years).

 is the initial population. Here, .

 is the growth rate as a decimal. Given that the growth rate is , we convert it to a decimal by dividing by , so .

 is the number of years. In this situation,  years.

Now we substitute these values into the formula:
