A country's population in 1994 was 76 million. In 1998 it was 81 million. Estimate the population in 2016 using the exponential growth formula. Round your answer to the nearest million.
P=Ae^kt

Already I have established the answer must be between 101 -106. Also because the year 2016 is in the dead center of between 2014 and 2018, this would mean that I'd have to figure out whether to round up or down. So it's either 103 or 104. What do you guys think?
