Answer:

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.
