    How to make a formula in excel
    I need to use excel to make this graph (see question below). I've put the years from 2009-2050 in the A cells and then put 6,784,344,099 in the first B cell. What I can't figure out is what formula to use to add 1.15% to each cell. Help please?
    The human population is currently experiencing exponential growth. On Sept 15, 2009 the global population was estimated to be 6,784,344,099. Current estimates have the population growing at a rate of approximately 1.15%. To see the impact of exponential growth, set up a data table tracking the population from 2009-2050. Use the current estimated population given and the growth rate of 1.15% to create a graph showing the predicted global population if the growth rate is not lowered from 2009 to 2050
