The National Statistics Office reported that the estimated population of the Philippines was 96,000,000 people
in 2012 with an annual rate of increase of 1.7%. What is the total population of the Philippines in the next 10
years?
First Step: Identify the following given data.
Population (P) = 96,000,000 people
Increase Rate (R) = 1.7% -> 0.017 (Divide 1.7 by 100 to extract the percent sign)
Time/Years (t) = 10 years
Second Step: Create the formula.

Solutions:
f(1) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)1
= 96,000,000(1.017)1
=97,632,000
f(6) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)6
=96,000,000(1.017)6
=106,317,714
f(2) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)2
= 96,000,000(1.017)2
=99,291,744
f(7) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)7
=96,000,000(1.017)7
=108,023,415
f(3) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)3
= 96,000,000(1.017)3
=100,976,703
f(8) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)8
= 96,000,000(1.017)8
=109,859,813
f(4) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)4
= 96,000,000(1.017)4
=102,696,358
f(9) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)9
= 96,000,000(1.017)9
=111,787,430
f(5) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)5
= 96,000,000(1.017)5
=104,442,196
f(10) = 96,000,000(1+0.017)10
= 96,000,000(1.017)10
=113,626,796
The Population of the Philippines for the next 10 years will be 113,626,796 people or 114,000,000 people.
