A certain population of bacteria has an average growth rate of 2%. The formula for the growth of the bacteria's population is A=P0?1.02t, where P0 is the original population and t is the time in hours. If you begin with 200 bacteria, about how many bacteria will there be after 100 hours?

1448.93 bacteria

First, set up the equation.

A=200(1+.02)^100

Next, put this in the calculator.

And boom, you have the answer.
