Question

The population of wolves in a forest was 138 in 2000. The population is increasing at a rate of 5% per year. How many wolves will be in the forest in 10 years?

Answer 1

207 wolves

Explanation:

Given

Initial population = 138

Rate = 5%

Time = 10years

First calculate the increment after 10 years

Increment = 138 * 5 * 10/100

Increment = 138 /2

Increment = 69

Number of wolves in 10years = 138 +69

Number of wolves in 10years = 207wolves
