The population in City B was approximately 7,150,000, and it increases 0.8% in one year. What is the new population?

Question

Me and some of the people I worked with got the same answer 7207200 but it was wrong apparently.

Answer 1

The final population after exactly one year is 1.008 times the initial population.

1.008(7,150,000) = 7,207,200

You answer is correct. Could there be a typo in the wording of the problem?
