Answer: There will be approximately 860 frogs in 10 years.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial population of frogs =100

Rate of growth = 24%

Time taken = 10 years

We'll use the compound interest formula,

$P(1+(r)/(100))^n\\\\=100(1+(24)/(100))^(10)\\\\=859.44$

There will be approximately 860 frogs in 10 years.
