Question

At the start of an experiment, there are 60 bacteria in a dish. The population is expected to grow at a rate of 230% each day. Which is the best prediction for the bacteria population after 5 days? 3862 4778 23,481 27,261

Answer 1

the best prediction is....... 23,481

Step-by-step explanation:just think about Time

:) your welcome!

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C, 23,481

Explanation:

As we Know,

`Pn = P0 (1+r)^2\\`

Where Pn = Population after n units of time

P0 = initial population

r = rate of population increase

n = number of unit of time

Substituting the values in above equation we get -

`60 ( 1 + (230)/(100))^5\\= 24,481\\`
