To calculate next year's population, we can use the formula:
Population = Current population * (1 + Growth rate)
Substitute the given values:
Next year's population = 288,000 * (1 + 0.005)
Next year's population = 288,000 * 1.005
Next year's population = 289,440
Therefore, next year's population will be 289,440 to the nearest individual.
Population = Current population * (1 + Growth rate)
Substitute the given values:
Next year's population = 288,000 * (1 + 0.005)
Next year's population = 288,000 * 1.005
Next year's population = 289,440
Therefore, next year's population will be 289,440 to the nearest individual.
