A population has size 3,000 at time $t=0$, with $t$ in years. If the population grows by $10 \%$ per year, what is the formula for $P$, the population at time $t$ ?
A) $ P=3,000(1.1) t$
B) $ P=3,000+10 t$
C) $ P=3,000(1.1)^{t}$
D) $ P=3,000(0.1)^{t}$

The population grows exponentially by 10% per year, so the formula is $ P=3,000(1.1)^{t} $, where 1.1 represents the growth factor.
