Answer:

The answer to your question is: 315 elephants

Explanation:

Data

Population of elephants = 286

Increasing rate = 0.01

Population in ten years = ? =P

Equation

P(t) = 286 + 286(0.01)t

P(t) = 286 + 2.86t

In ten years

P(10) = 286 + 2.86(10)

P(10) = 286 + 28.6

P(10) = 314.6 ≈ 315 elephants
