Answer:
170,070 residents
Step-by-step explanation:
Original population = 1500 residents
Total population after 6 years is calculated using the formula
A = P(1+r)^t
r is the rate = 120% = 1.2
t is the time = 6 years
P is the original population
A = 1500(1+1.2)^6
A = 1500(2.2)^6
A = 1500(113.379904)
A = 170,069.856
Hence the total people using the recycling program after 6 years is approximately 170,070 residents
