21900000 is current population 43800000 is anticipated population 0.7% growth per year $43800000=21900000*(1.007)^x$ $43800000/21900000=21900000*(1.007)^x/21900000$ $2= 1.007^x$ $log 2 = log {1.007^x}$ $log 2 = x log {1.007}$ $log 2/log 1.007 = x log 1.007/log 1.007$ $log 2/log 1.007 =x$ $.30103/.00303 =x$ $99.349 =x$
