Hello. I am supposed to find out the population growth rate of 48,146,134 by 0.89% for 1 year, 10 years, 100 years and 1000 years. The professor said my calculations were off because of the percentage conversion being wrong in my problem. I did it like this: 48,146,134(1+0.0089)^1 and 10, 100 and 1000. What did I do wrong? My answers were:
52,431,140 for 1 year
112,980,256 for 10 years
242, 856,312 for 100 years and
513,582,636 for 1000 years. Please help me see where I went wrong
