Question

Suppose you have a population of 300 butterflies. If the population experiences a net growth of 12% in the following year, how many butterflies do you have?

Answer 1

There are total
`336` butter flies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Population
`= 300`

Net growth in population in the next year
`= 12` %

New population
`=` Existing population + (Net growth in population
`*`Existing Population

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

New population
`= 300 + ( (12)/(100) *300)\\= 300 + 36\\= 336\\`

Hence, there are total
`336` butter flies.
