Step-by-step explanation:just think about Time

:) your welcome!

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, 23,481

Step-by-step explanation:

As we Know,

[tex]Pn = P0 (1+r)^2\\[/tex]

Where Pn = Population after n units of time

P0 = initial population

r = rate of population increase

n = number of unit of time

Substituting the values in above equation we get -

[tex]60 ( 1 + \frac{230}{100})^5\\= 24,481\\[/tex]
