Answer:
48,841,380.8
Step-by-step:
find 12% of 14,365,112= 1,723,813.44
then find 1,723,813.44×20= 34,476,268.8
then 34,476,268.8+14,365,112=48,841,380.8
To increase a number by 12% means to multiply it by 1.12. If you do this repeatedly over the years, you're multiplying [tex]n[/tex] times by 1.12, i.e. you're multiplying by [tex]1.12^n[/tex].
So, in 20 years, the population will be
[tex]12365112\cdot (1.12)^{20}\approx 119277494[/tex]
