    A town has a population of 25,000 and grows at 7.7% every 4 months. What will be the population after 6 years?

    • 1 year = 12 months
    • 12 months / 4 months = 3 compounding periods per year
    • 3 compounding periods per year * 6 years = 18 compounding periods
    So we have our population growth as follows:
    25,000(1.077)^18
    25,000 * 3.8008668804
    95,021.67 ~ 95,021
