A new high school opens in a thriving suburban community. The number of students signed up to attend the school in its first year is 532, and the population of students is predicted to increase at a rate of 16% per year.

Which inequality can the high school use to determine the number of years, t, until the student population is larger than 2,025?

$$P(1+r)^t$$ where P is the principle amount, in this case, 532
4 is the rate, in this case 0.16

" student population is larger than 2,025"

$Student~population~>~2025 \ P(1+r)^t~>~2025$

hope you can get the equation!
