Use the following formula to find the population of the country be in 10 years.
P = P 0 ( 1 + r 100 ) n
Now substitute the above values,
P = P 0 ( 1 + r 100 ) n P = 50 ( 1 + 3 100 ) 10 P = 50 ( 1 + 0.03 ) 10 P = 50 ( 1.03 ) 10 P = 67.1958 P 67.20
Therefore, the population will be 67.20 millions in ten years.
