Approximate value: 422,613 estimated from the first value, 422,612.6 . How to find the answer: Multiply 337,550 by the rate of growth, 4.2% which is changed to 0.042 . The answer you get, 14,117.1, is the amount of growth each year. Multiply that by 6 to get an overall increase in population over 6 years of 85,062.6, and then add to the first amount, 337,550, to get 422,612.6 --> 422,613.
